    you wont have float with 1.8s or 1.84s. you probably wouldnt have float with 1.9s either.

    1.84 is the highest ratio you can run shifting at 6200 without valve float on stock springs. Any higher ratio or higher shift point and you'll start floatin' 'em

    Just a question... why not go with 1.9 or 1.95's and just upgrade your springs/retainers and lifters?

    cause its a wasted part. you can sell it to someone else who is dumb or someone who will use it for its only good use: to spray nitrous/meth.
