ive herd tat longer gear ratios are good, but at the same time ive herd tat long gears are good. i was told by a friend tat for drag racing longer gears r good, but i was also told tat short gears r always better. now in super street one of their projects, project back out, they are rebuilding a ys1 tranny with a 4.40 final drive ratio for reasons tat chimpy is choosing to keep secret. why? wats so good bout the ratios of this tranny? hes tryin to build a b20 n boost it to 400whp why dis tranny?
plz help me understand!

to much to explain but in a nut shell shorter gears and higher finals equals more torque in within a range, TROQUE MULTIPILCATION FACTOR all depends on your application

six_speed

shorter gear ratios=greater torque multiplication

shorter gear ratios work in conjunction with high final drive= greater toque output

for most honda low power output applications shorter is better, but in reality you want the gears best suited for your engine output. A stock LS tranny is gear a lot higher then a GSR because it makes it's torque and HP a lot earlier, that's why it's best suited for it. What's your application, maybe we can help out.....y0
