is shorter or longer gears better when running nitrous
IMHO use the shortest possible gearing you can afford. acceleration is mathematical multiplied by the gear ratios....why go longer?
Nitrous is NOT just like boost... Especially on a stock bottom end motor you will destroy your rings with the addtional pressure... Boosted motors (turbo/supercharged) generate power by adding more air to the mix... Nitrous on the other hand is an oxidizer which still burns a lot hotter than any F/I motor under high boost... I personally would go with shorter gears if possible... AGAIN, you don't want to go too short as you will just spin... I would go with a basically stock gearing... On an N20 GSR motor I would stick with the GSR tranny... I wouldn't put a straight LS tranny on any B series motor making less that 600whp... It hurt my friend's daily driven GSR turbo EK's time and he was making 506whp... Just my $0.02 on the situation but you can do whatever you want... Peace
