Re: confused......

Faster acceleration with slightly lower top speed with final drive and the gears will give better ratios to improve acceleration in the higher gears.

Will certainly improve acceleration a noticeable amount. Will lower top speed but not by a drastic amount.

Re: confused......

are you not able to use the gear calculator to determine this yourself?

seriously....

I'm not trying to belittle you here, but look at the numbers that are shown on the gear calculator and then come up with quantifiable questions as to what you still don't understand.

Here I did the work for you. How can we better clarify what you want on your car?

Tire size
track length that you run if any
autocross if any.

Fill in your location so we can better determine what types of racing you may eventually participate in.

help us help you.
