So I’m running 4.10s on my car right now. The car originally had 3.55s when it was NA. With that ratio, the car didn’t pull hard enough for me. I went to 4.10s and thought it was great.
With the car being supercharged now, it’s making 801/650 at the wheel on E85. When I go WOT I shred the tires. I really have to be gentle on the throttle when driving around town. It’s still a ton of fun, but I’d like to take a little of this gearing away. First gear is completely unusable. I use second gear as if it were first. I was going to get taller tires to take away some of this gear, but ended up getting the same height tires as I have now, just in drag radial form.
What do you guys recommend? I know it’s personal preference, but I think the car would be faster with taller gearing.
