Seat of the pants experience by changing ratios?
I'm currently running a built C6 with a 2.75 open rear differential. This winter I plan to switch to an AOD to enjoy more leisurely cruising rpms. In choosing the ratio I want for the new positraction rear it seems I could easily go 3.55 or 3.73. Since it'll still be an automatic (ankles prohibit a manual) I'm wondering what kind of actual driving experience changes I should expect. Will it just run through the gears up to third in a shorter time? Is there wisdom in adjusting the tranny shift point upwards to a higher rpm point in order to feel more of a quick launch experience? My car is a West Coast so it's one of the heavier cobras
but with 475 RWHP I would think (hope) there's a way to get it to feel a lot zippier.
It has a Ford 9" btw.
Thanks for any answers and advice!
Dirk
