CD009 gear question
I have a CD009 transmission and assuming the gear ratios are;
3.784
2.324
1.624
1.271
1.000
0.794
Final:3.538
The problem I am having is flying through the gears WAY too fast and am looking to see if there is any reasonable options to get longer gears whether it be a different transmission, different gears or final drive. I just replaced the diff to a quiafe which is about to get worked on due to a small leak so since it will be on the lift it would be a good time to figure out the gear issues. I would love to get close to the length of z06 gears which i believe are;
2.664
1.783
1.302
1.000
0.741
0.502
Final:3.420
My z is fully built by forged, is turbo'd and has the power to use longer gears but I am a noob with transmissions. What are the possibilities? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

^^ what he said, but you can also look into the OS Giken gear set for ratios and Quaffe also has a trans for the Z that has multiple gear sets available.

Thank you for the feed back, the link you posted says its max capability is 375 bhp I would need something that can handle 700bhp. I'm guessing the 3.3 FD from auto wouldn't change the length a whole lot leaving custom gearing as the most realistic option? Any rough estimates on that kind of work? ($_$)

I would imagine it would cost somewhere in the 3k+ range for something like that.
If you need a 3.3 FD ring and pinion LMK I have a set that's been sitting in my garage.
I would try the 3.3 FD since it would be the cheapest option and you won't lose out on much if it's still not your liking
