Default Re: Trans low gear set.

Adger,
Had to drive the same way w/stock gear set also,I figure my low gear set did'nt help cause converter was already a little tight and w/ low gear set was tighter and took away any gains the low gear set made.Converter guy said 8'' I had was as loose as could be made w/o becoming inefficient,so I replied so then I need 7''? he said no 7 won't work in your application,could'nt get a answer that made any sense from him,was going to change companies but went back to stick.
You mean my stick gear ratio? if so 2.88 and wide open Ahhh so much more fun!!!!
I know 2.88 is a little higher first than common,but have to use stock type trans in pure stock and barely over 6K my experience has been you can get too low in first w/lower rpm combo,seems to me to work better if you can clear 60' in low gear.
I had 2 automatics,my 1st and last LOL
