Richmond 3.55 and 3.73 gears for 5.7 vehicles

[RobAGD]

It is used in a few benz cars with the sme 2.82 and 3.06 and 3.07 gears that we have.

You have to look at the market for the gears vs tooling cost and R&D time/money.

Also the 4.10 3.73 gears for our cars are way out there, we have a very steep first gear, to get these pigs going. ON a 28 tall tire a 3.2x 3.3x would be about ideal w/ some tracking.

If you want straight up racing th 4.10 would be ok, but I sure wouldn't want to drive it on the street.

These are not your old sk00l muscle cars.

Here is a post from LXF that I made a while ago :

Because a lot of people cant get it in thier head that these 5 speed trans are not like the old TH-350 and th-400.

TH-400 Gears - 2.48 1st gear, 1.48 2nd gear, 1.00 3rd gear.

TH-350 Gears - 2.52 1st gear, 1.52 2nd gear, 1.00 3rd gear

TH700r4 Gears - 3.06 1st gear, 1.62 2nd gear, 1.00 3rd gear, 0.70 4th Gear

W5A580 Gears - 3.58 1st gear, 2.19 2nd gear, 1.41 3rd gear, 1.00 4th gear, 0.83 5th gear

See the differnace ?

i see that is a very steep gear but i think the 3.55 would be good and the 3.73s should be ok
