It modifies shift points. Basically, it's a life-safer and helps compensate for the lack of torque our motors produce.

Jason-

1st ?
2nd?
3rd?
4th?
5th?

Search for ATS. This has been discussed lots recently.

 

Check out a search. You should be able to pull up alot of info about final drives. All the goods and bads about switching it, whats involved, and what to choose from.

But anyways. I have a JDM 4.7 FD in my car, and would NEVER go back to a stock 4.4 final drive.

check it out

 

that just for final drive... would there be any benefit to get the whole gear set as jason mentioned he wanted?? im sure there would be, but is it available

 

# engine rotations to 1 wheel rotations. yes?
so a higher final drive will increase the number of rotations to 1 wheel rotation. more power quicker.

 

Changing gear set = custom ratios for each gear

Ideally, you could rebuild the tranny to optimize it for each track you hit, like the NASCAR guys do


Pat, who has torque now that he has b00st, and learned tonight that the roundy-round guys use rearend gearsets from 2.50 to 6.60

 

??

 

I won't say that exactly but, I'll say:

IT KICK'S F*CKIN ***!!!

Nuff said?
Oh, and do a search please in the nicest possible way because this has been covered a few more times than 1,000,000...
