is a stock gsr tranny going to be more reliable with a 26" than a 24.5? due to haveing more give in the 26?
aiming for around 700whp, will i be still in 4th @ 9krpm with 24.5??

 

most will say the 24.5 is easier on the trans.
me shifting my car at 11k, with b16 1-2-3, i was trapping 9600 with a gsr 4th gear.

 

26's are murder on a stock tranny. 24.5 will last longer at 700 but itll still break eventually

 

Stay 24.5

 

the s9b gearbox we have over here had FD of 4.2?

 

See the numbers for yourself....

24.5 is still going to do a number on the trans. It's very dependent on how you drive too.

 

175-60-15's FTW!

 

what about on a car that doesnt run alot of rpm, or dont have different trans choices? you pretty much have tires to get the final drive/mph where you need? stock tire diameter is 25" and with 24.5" close to rev limiter.
