Straight cut tranny vs Stock tranny Gear ratios and shit... Discussion.
 

Discuss opinions on the ratios...

It already traps 128 with the stock trans and we have plenty of boost to play with (not to mention slicks)... There just no way ill be able to stay out of fifth.. Rev limiters at 8500, dont WANT to turn it up... Guess Ill just have to get used to running fifth at the track huh????

This is with 26" SLicks in the calculation and the stock 4.266 FD ratio....



Its going to be like driving a small block Camaro with 4:56s in the ------- thing... LOL... and a Rock Crusher...... Probably sound about the same too.
Freeway FTL.... But at least it will stay in one piece... HOPEFULLY.

Tits. The straight cut setup looks beautiful and it should last as long as you arent getting too much shaft deflection.

Where did you pick this up at? I haven't stayed up with your other thread but there is no way M Factory is done with their suff right?

Is there anyway you could run a differant final? Once you crank up the boost and are able to launch it, I bet you will be traping in the 140-145 range. At that point 5th will be at its peak. Mabey Im just talking out my ass, but gt4088 27lbs, and 700hp in a 3100lbs car I think you should run in the 140s.

im projecting 135ish

Re: Straight cut tranny vs Stock tranny Gear ratios and shit... Discussion.
 

Shooting low and hoping high? 135? Didnt josh run like 148ish? with about the same power?

Re: Straight cut tranny vs Stock tranny Gear ratios and shit... Discussion.
 

Josh was trapping 141.xx with a slipping clutch on the top end.

Re: Straight cut tranny vs Stock tranny Gear ratios and shit... Discussion.
 

You could just short shift 4th..... that way you arnt shifting as you trip the lights

Re: Straight cut tranny vs Stock tranny Gear ratios and shit... Discussion.
 

raise rev

Re: Straight cut tranny vs Stock tranny Gear ratios and shit... Discussion.
 

I dont know about that... DOnt really want to turn it more thn 8500 8600.... No need. Would want to look at the main bearings and that entails having reid pull the bottom end of it apart (as per our agreement) which entails drivfing the POS to Eastern WA. That drive eats cock.


Ill just deal with the fact that it is what it is...


LOL
