They may not know it is a 6 speed or for some reason want a 1:1 ratio for whatever they are doing. Either way, I think 60 would be right around 3K in fifth. I could def. be wrong. Maybe 3100. Hell, go drive it!

Yeah thanks mr potato head I didn't think of that duh! I need the rpms with the ring and pinion installed. If I had it I would just go drive it.

3.91*3100=12121
12121/3.53=3434
Most appreciated Dwnshift. This will help greatly in my cam selection process.
Yeah, the first guess is always the one to go with. That damn math just gets you thinking too much

thanx
Gearing shifts the rpm range of your engine. Cams have an rpm range which they are best suited. So, I needed to know how much the gearing shifted that range. I plug all this into a dyno simulation program I have to select the best grind, given the VQ's bore, stroke, cfm, gearing etc.

I understand what you are saying, but that is not the point of my post. Most people on this board will spend most of their time on the street, not the track. I am sure this is a wonderful mod for the track and I would love the 1st-5th gearing on my street car. But in an interstate cruise, it will cost you mpg cause the gearing will make the car run at a higher rpm.
All I was saying that while 6th is useless on the track, it is not useless to most people that own the car. Your gearing, with a taller 6th would be the perfect setup, and I would back that up by definitely buying that setup and I am sure I am not alone. Is it possible??

yeah but the cost of tearing down a tranny to replace a single gear.....you're getting into BIG buck territory.
This has obvious benefits, and only a minor tradeoff IMHO

I have maintained from the beginning that I do not think this is a good mod for drag strip or a car that sees much highway. This will be no doubt good for the road course. But off the road course you are looking at more shifting, worse mileage, more wear and tear, etc. We will only know when it's tested. I think the Z has too short of gears already. I still want to swap out rears with an auto touring. Somebody help me!
