Can I just clear something up?
I thought the optimal 1st gear ratio was 8.2:1 which is the w/r t/l with 2.78 X 2.88. The very thing I had at the beginning. But Dan said it would bog down on take off, and others agreed.
So now it seems somewhere in the 9s is correct, which is the w/r t/l 2.78 but with the 3.31 or 3.54 rear end. Alternatively, the 2.87 TKO 600 with the 3.31 which makes 9.5 and has a choice of 5ths, .62 or .82.
If 9s are correct, I have to reluctantly agree, the TKO has the same ratios 1-4 as the w/r t/l but with the choice of a 70+ cruising. Hmmmm....
So what is the target for 1st please, 8.2 or something beginning with a 9,
