way back about 15 years ago I did some back to back testing between 1.82 and 1.76 planetary and the 1.76 lost almost a dime in my 10. second V-6 powered Gen 3 Camaro.
how much was due to the .06 in gear ratio?? not sure. My thought was weight of the rotating mass. It didn't pull of the gear change as quick..
I've always thought about building a 1.82 alloy planetary.
