Can i do 70kph in first gear, or am i smoking crack again
Hey guys i just worked out a nice set of gear ratios but am a bit worried about first gear, on the excel dyno program it doesnt change my ET much from
my last arrangement but will put 2 to 4th nice and close together. please give me your 2 cents.

2.75:1 is a very tall 1st gear. Very tall. Everything else on the sheet looks fine, so yes you could do 69kph in first.

With that 1st gear ratio, wouldnt you have to give it hell from start to get it going. I wouldnt think you would want to drop under 3.00.

yeah right, thanx for giving me a good laugh. I needed one.
BTW, why did you pick such a tall ratio for first? Are you planning on doing circuit racing?
