The Power of the Gears!!!!!!!!!!
Ok yall i know this is the one million thread about gears :o but i just want to know sum stuff about the gears n tlok for those of you who has them already....
i know that the numbers dont show up on the dyno but about how much HP/TQ would the gears n tlok give u?? Would these gears n tlok make you run with v8's from take off??? How bad will they improve my accel???\ And is there any other stuff i should know about these Gears????? I have an Auto v6, getting the Motive Performance Plus 4.10 Gears, Motive Bearing Kit, Royal Purple Max Gear 75w90 Gear Oil, Ford Racing 7.5" 28 Spline Traction - LOK Limited Slip Differential (and its about time AM has it) :cool: So please please leave a comment if uve had these gears installed......... |
MULTIPLE QUESTION MARKS!!!!??????
in all seriousness now, gears don't do squat to your horsepower and torque...they just give increased acceleration. |
i know they don give u hp/tq im just asking how much invisible hp/tq would they give u?
like sum other peeps say "gears are like an invisible hp/tq" |
its not like invisible hp/tq.
It is a torque multiplier. If you understood how they work you would understand how the question has no answer. Unless you want us to tell you you have 150hp now, and your car will accelerate like it has 170hp with stock gearing. But that is still wrong, because all of your gears will now top out at a slightly slower speed. You could do 60 mph at 1800 rpms in fifth before? now it will be 2100 rpms, because the gears are 20% 'shorter' |

yeah, that's about right. increased gas consumption, but increased acceleration.
|
damn cant wait to get the gears to fell the accel n waste sum more gas :D
