Yea no. 3.15’s are not junk. That’s just a foolish statement.

3.15's work for me. Already ridiculously geared overall in 1rst @ 13.1. To put it in perspective, lot of fast 1/4 mile cars use a Th400 or powerglide. TH400 is a 2.48 first. they would need 5.29's in those cars to equal overall ratio auto coyote has stock.

That said, my 14 GT auto was really weak on the low end stock in the summer heat. That's why I went straight for the TVS. If I didn't want to spend that much, I would have done converter before gears. Plenty of gear stock in these things, you just need to get in the power band. I decided to spend more and lower the power band.
