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 |

The gearbox will always be a compromise - especially for AX where every course is different. Gearing up in 2nd to be able to go faster on some straights without shifting to 3rd is a trade-off you will pay for when you are coming out of a low speed turn in 2nd - and visa versa. You've only pointed out one concrete thing that you would like - a 2nd to 3rd drop in RPM from 6500 to 4500. But your stock /4 tranny already pretty much does that (I calculate 6500 in 2nd shifts to 4340 in 3rd). So like Andy says - exactly what problem are you having that you would like to solve or improve? You haven't made that clear. Demick |
