And you think YOU have it bad lol. The 4L60E transmission has a 3.06 first gear then jumps waaaayyy down to 1.6ish for 2nd! Thats ok, the M90 cars make so much torque everywhere it doesnt bother me, especially since RWD cars hook up My cutlass cuts low 1.6 60' times on drag radials in full street trim, with a 2200 rpm torque converter. After the car comes off the line its a very small powerband, between 4950 and 6800 all the way down the track. 1st gear is basically a lever to move the car. The above with was 3.73 gears. I was going to stick 4.10s back in but since I am putting a turbo on the car I will never go through the traps in 3rd with that or the 3.73s as i crossed the line at 6K rpm in 3rd with the 3.73s. The car has 3.23 gears in it now so I should be safe for a while. Ron back to your wanting to change gear ratios, I dont know of anyone that has done this with any fwd GM trans but for other rwd old transmissions there are kits but VERY expensive. Remember in changing ANY of the gearing you altering every gear ratio 1st - Reverse. If its a strip only car then I would go with a higher stall converter and run 3.29 or 3.69 gears to let the engine sit higher in the powerband. Traction is always the problem with these cars so it makes it hard to have a car that does everything everywhere.
