Wide Ratio top loader 1st. 2.78
Close Ratio 1st. 2.32
TKO 1st. 2.87
There is a substantial difference between the TKO and Close ratio.
Most folks run the wide ratio and the difference is not "that much" with the TKO. It was a BIG step for me, I'm struggling with how to launch and get through second gear, can't run it wide open, don't want to use slicks, learning throttle modulation.
My 1/4 mile ET has actually been SLOWER than with the C.R. top loader!
