2.14 vs 3.73

[sickolds]

ok the last time i tried these i did not get my answer or i just asked the wrong question so here it is WILL I NOTICE THE DEFERENCE BETWEEN 2.14 AND 3.73 GEARS? :?: the car is a 1982 olds cutlass 383 sbc 9.7 comp 224/224 cam 465/465 lift vortec heads 750 holley th350 trans B&M shift kit on 20 inch iroc rims the reason i mentioned the rims is because i heard the rims make a deference. do they :!:

the bigger the diameter of the tire, the more it takes away from the ratio. So it will actually be less than 373, there should be a ca;culator or something on the interwebz. try google.

but will i notice any deference :?:

yes, you will, try running smaller rims like 15s, it'll be a world of difference with 373s, but even with 20s it should still move like never before.

ME?

Major difference. I went from 2.29 to 3.23 and it was a big holeshot upgrade. I wouldn't go near 3.73's without an overdrive transmission, because you'll be pulling 3K rpm on the highway easy.

 

[sickolds]

yes you 3XBrownCutty :lol: want to trade for a new th350

 

[3XBrownCutty]
