Davidless liked post by jhv48 On thread : Plz Help with Trans Gearing

I had the .64 overdrive in my TKO600 and absolutely hated it. 3.54 rear gears. I’ve got a street friendly 550 horse engine that pulls just fine from 1800 rpm in top gear. I found myself rowing back...

Tommy is right on everything he wrote. Now, with that said, let me tell you why I went with a .64 OD with my 3.54 rear. That TKO 5th gear ratio gives me 34 miles per hour per 1000 RPM. I use 5th...

I have three comments. First, if your engine is high strung (i.e. doesn't like low RPM like mine) I don't think you'll like the 0.68 gear very much. Second, the jump from 4th to 5th with 0.68 means...

David, in addition to the O.D. ratio, also consider the transmission's first gear. My TKO 500's first gear is a 3.27, which would be fine for drag racing but since I don't bother doing that with my...

Plus, the "lockout" bar is cosmetic. The Tremecs do not use it.

From the Progression Ignitions product description: "Distributor gear is melonized steel. Compatible with flat tappet cams and hydraulic roller cams."

This video was probably more meaningful for your intended use than the Theft Prevention video I linked to earlier. The video shows the idle tuning and spark map generation process. Everything is...

They slap it in just as Blas posted. But, if you ask them, they will likely tell you: 1) a voltmeter is safer than an ammeter; 2) an ammeter looks cooler than a voltmeter; 3) if you want cool, with...

I think you have all the necessary information to make a call for your own car, David. In the end, this is your car, and this is your call. Whatever you decide for you and your car will...

If you are paying attention to your gauges, have an inquisitive mind and notice small changes and follow up on them, then an ammeter is fine especially if you have a shunt wire. Unfortunately,...

The voltmeter versus ammeter debate has been around forever and hashed out here many times. The main drawback to an ammeter is the safety aspect. A good shunt wire will take care of that and there...

Only after the reason 25 amps running though the ammeter was explained. Where is that 25 amps going? My ammeter shows about 20 amps after I've started it up, with a little bit of cranking, but...

Let's put a 200 watt bulb on the positive and negative terminal of the battery. Remember watts equals volts times amps, so it's going to draw about 15 amps or so. When the car starts up, the...

10 gauge is fine and all you're doing is bracketing around the ammeter. A couple to three feet should be more than plenty I would think. Now, if you would like to "taste test" your shunt first,...
