Long or short gear tranny?

[RBS]

longer gearing is better for boost any day. just think about how much you would be shifting with a short geared tranny with boost. turbo cars build pressure over a rpm band and you dont get your max boost just because you floor a car it comes at a certain rpm. max boost=max hp. with that said with a long gear tranny you will be at max boost/hp for a longer time.

depends on how much power your going to make. if your not making a big amount of power, you might want to consider a kinda short transmission thats geared for acceleration ... although if you have ALOT of power to pull then a long tranny will do great

this is true too. i was just talking in general. i would rather have a short geared tranny any day for boost.

...huh?



I personally love my F22 tranny (long gears) with boost. I made 347whp, 313 trq and never felt like my tranny was holding me back. I've considered an H22 tranny, but I drive too much on the highway to have gears that short.
