Basically I am changing the 4 speed gear ratio from: 2.20 / 1.64 / 1.28 / 1.00 to: 2.52 / 1.88 / 1.46 / 1.00 It will be a lot better on the street and out of the hole at the strip. Plus the gears are made of stronger material than a typical M20 and they are machined at a 20 degree helix angle on the gearset as opposed to a 30 degree angle. If my math is correct it will make my 3.73 rear gears feel like 4.26 in 1st changing from a 2.20 to a 2.52 first gear. [/ QUOTE ] You can also upgrade to the very strong, "Italian Gears" Dan

The source that told me was a tranny line tech at the local Chevy dealer for the last 31 or 32 years. He does about 10 muncies a year yet for local friends so I kinda trust what he says.
What he tried to tell me is that he personally popped a few from what he told me in his with a semi stock LS7 crate motor that he bought back in the 70s with 411s. He was telling me it didn't like powershifting and I don't remember if it was from 2-3 or 3-4. |
