ring and pinion ratio suggestion
I was waiting for more inputs from other members, that's why I didn't reply any of you before.
-Coffee&Cars, thank you for your reply;
-Stroked340, I really think it would 'wake up' the car and make it very cool, but for long trips that 3,73:1 would keep reminding me of that decision. Although you had me itching for that, haha. Think it would be an awsome weekend car (maybe 4,10...)
-Killer6, I really was inclined to the 3,31 for the exactly reason you pointed. 8% more 'grunt' to the rear wheels without that much more rpm on 4th. I think this would be the best, but I don't know yet in which rpm the camshaft will start making good power.
So, before opening the thread I did the calculations, and it ends up been small steps of a little less than 200 rpm for each rear ratio 'step'. The thing was that I don't know if a V8 driving at 2900 rpm is just a little or a lot louder than the same engine at 2700 rpm. Than I've found some youtube videos of people driving around showing the tachometer, but I don't know if their car had full exhaust, what kind of engine...
So I think I'll go with 3.55:1 because I'll change the wheels and tires when I have more money.
If after putting the 3.55 I feel the gears are too short with the current tires, than I'll buy bigger 27" tires to even out and make it as if I had the 3.31:1 in the first place.
Thanks for the replys
