The final drive/5th gear setup was setup to keep the fan moving at the right speed for cooling.
Changing that for a street car means looking at how you will cool the engine. |

Changing that for a street car means looking at how you will cool the engine. my dad has done such extensive polishing to my heads and pistons that my engine runs about 65 degrees cooler than stock. so there for if i can gear it steeper i can get back some of that heat for efficiency and then have more topend if i have the power and have more efficiency becuase of lower rpms. i have video of my heads that are polished. they look like mirrors. you can see the reflection of my dad with the camera in the valves. it took him about 4 months to do the two. but it was well worth it. next best thing from ceramic coating. steven |
