Regear help

[Wild one]

I calculated factory gearing VS factory tires then aftermarket gearing to aftermarket for the closest final drive ratio to be closest to stock. Transmission was not a factor as we can't change the gears in it. As it sits with the tire/axle ratio it's almost as close to factory as you can get. I didn't bother figuring out the tranny ratios. Lol

Actually he'd be closer to 4.00:1 with 37's if comparing them to an original sized 33" tire. 37's are roughly 12% taller,so 0.88 X 4.56 = roughly 4.00:1.He should notice a fair bit of differance on the highway as his high gear cruise rpm should increase by just a smidge over 11%.Should hold high gear a little better on the hills for him,but that's also not factoring in the tire weight or rolling resistance differances between the wider and heavier tires,lol.

Yeah we calculate 4:06 final ratio

I'd say that's pretty good considering the ratios before. [emoji23] It'll feel like it was new on 33s with those gears in her. That driveshaft is just a hummin at like like 140,000 rpm lol but yea 4.06 with 37s and 4.29 with 35s if I remember correctly. I'm not quite slouching yet haha [emoji23]

Whatever the numbers, she’s riding like she was factory! Not searching for gears and shifting like a charm.

Just to add........ math was never my best subject and if I remember correctly, I was sitting in the cafeteria most often during math class. Not my brightest moments, nonetheless I graduated! lol

That's the only class i liked Lyle,well that and shop class,lol.In my younger days i could do math faster in my head then most people could do it on a calculator,but i'm a little out of practice now that i'm getting older,lol.

I was a bit of a nutbar in high school Lyle,the type that would ride a motocross bike up the hallways during lunch time on a dare,might have even been involved in a few other shenigans,lol. My last name damn near killed me in my younger days trying to live up to it,even had an old Judge tell me i didn't have to live up to the name when i was 18,then he threw my ass in crowbar hotel for 90 days,lol

They hadn't invented the ankle bracelet or GPS when i was a kid,GM's Hei ignitions were just starting to come on line,lol. Dial back timing lights and vaccumn gauges plus your ears were the top tuning tools.If you had a dial back timing light you were the local tuning guru,lol.Speaking of that anybody want to buy a Mac Tools dial back timing light and vaccumn guage,lol
