    great video. shorter rear gears is not always the answer! now if you install a turbo. a higher rear gear could probably work better and you can cruise high ways better!

    Man, this video is great, thanks for sharing this knowledge with us, i am trying to better understand how gear ratio affect performance on a car, not only final drive, but individual gears spacing too, and this video helped a lot, great to know about the computer controlled transmissions as well.

    @73capricedonk Před rokem +1

    With a 8 speed transmission you can go with 4.11s and still do 130 on the freeway I got 4.11s in my donk with a 4l80e I do 80 mph at 2500 rpm which is not bad

    • @Chasemanuti
      @Chasemanuti Před rokem

      8spd And 4l80e totally different. You can use it but old gearing thinking is different with the 6 spd and up trans

    Could use a bit of advice guys. I have a 1988 Caprice police car with a “stock” 05’ LQ4 LS and 4L65E swapped in. I am building this car for sale and I need to know the best gear ratio to go with.
    If I do install a cam it will be the only upgrade other than the intake. Howard’s Rattler Howards “Rattler” (Duration 275/282, Lift .525/.525) Lifters, pushrods, and trunnion upgrade is a given.
    All input is very well appreciated!
