Grant, I know you are excited, and rightly so (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
The powerband of your conversion motor is very important if you are searching for gear sets. Mine runs best from 5-7k rpm's. I like the M-S-X 3rd, 4th, 5th. For a/x I believe you will want a lower 3rd geared box so you will be on power immediately out of the 2-3 upshift. For example: let's say you have a 6500rpm redline and you "tach out" 2nd gear as you make the shift to 3rd. This would mean you would be at 52 mph in 2nd at 6500. You shift to 3rd and now the engine is "bogging" at 4000 rpm's costing you time while the motor rev's back into the strong part of the powerband. The stock 3rd gear is a "N". By using the "M" you would have upshifted into 3rd at 4500 rpms, instead. If you rev to 7k, like me, you enter 3rd at 5k rpm's. Yay! Entering 4th I'm at 5200 and into 5th 5500. Screamin' Hope this helps. You *may* need a ride (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) KT |
