What is your favorite combo.
I need to stay in the 4500-6500rpm powerband. I can tach out at 7-7300rpm on the limiter. I have a spare trans I can build up now and then install... whenever. KT |

With the stock gears, 22.5 in dia tires & 7100 limiter I get
!st= 36 mph 2nd=58 mph I haven't bothered to calculate 3rd, but the jump is bigger than the 1-2 spread. IMO, 2nd is fine, 1st could be higher and 3rd could be lower. I seldom use 3rd but I shft by ear into it at 6.5-7.0 K. I have bought a 'B' first to raise the speed to 43mph and actually make it useful in places. I've enuff torque to grunt thru most all the sharper corners. ......but, what do you want for that trans, John? |
