Re: Rear gear ratio question
I run 4.88's daily with a Detroit locker in a 32" tire. Or a 285/65R17.
To me the biggest hold back of the combo is the TH700R4. If I had the money's to do over. A 4L80e would of been a more optimal choice.
Even though my engine is just a highly tuned gen2 LT1 it is a absolute blast to drive. I do miss the way bigger cam I had before. If I replace the cam it will be with a smog legal performance cam to get a little more out of her, but keep my drivibility.
My gear ratio, and Detroit effectively stop me from burning out. So that would be good for the 1/8 mile.
The same gear ratio hurts my top end charges a bit because my engine is more torquey vs 4500 rpm plus performance.
So with out mentioning engine specs or build list, and tire size.
Even 4.11's or 4.33's maybe a better split the difference overall combo.
