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 |

this is why you want to be higher in the powerband on every upshift.. It get exponentially more difficult to move the car through the air the faster it is going.. so every time you shift from a lower gear to a higher gear, you want to be climbing the torque/hp graph.. If your aims are primarlily doing A/x's with some track time.. and less street time, build yourself a short gearbox... If the car will be street driven, build a short 4 speed, with a long 5th I recommend using one of the many gear calculators available to figure out a set up... this will be a comprimise of course.. |
