Questions about gear ratio

GTX JOHN · 01-13-2016, 06:39 PM

If you have a effective converter that is sized correctly.......
I think the difference between the 1/8mile times with those
gear spreads would be well under a tenth.

The 1/8 mile times on my small block stockers going from
4.56 to 5.13 at sea level were well less than a tenth.

I am pushing 70 and sometimes start in 2nd gear now and then.....
the difference in 1/8 mile is under 2 tenths.

It is sure nerve wracking go thru the lights at 7700 instead
of 6900 in 1/4 miles.
