Default Any interest for taller gearing for FI

I called 350evo and asked if they could make a custom final drive (2.93) and they said if they had enough people interested it might be possible. I didn't get a price or anything cause as of right now it's only me. If you are interested in a taller gear please sign up. Maybe we can get enough interest to get-r-done. He said we would needs at least 20 people.

Why 2.93? I have the 3.3 pumpkin on a MT and its great but a lil taller might be better for the Turbo big HP group so we can eliminate some of the shifting. Im just wondering where you got that number from and why you didn't just do something rounded like 3.0?

2.93 might be what I'm looking for on teh full build but sadly I don't think it'll have enough positives for me at 400whp.

I just threw that number out there. I guess if we get enough interest we can agree on how tall the gear and have them make it.

Hmmmm... 2.93 gears on my FI SC'ed Auto, sounds interesting... Might just keep me out fourth on the 1/4 mile....

If the price is not ridiculous (high), I'm in

Isn't there some kind of calculator thingy for this. Also keep in mind most people that will be needing this are going to have a built engine or major HP and would appreciate the consideration of a 7K-75 maybe 8k redline. So you can use the RPM's combined with gear ratio to see how fast you will be going in a said Gear. As it is Im doing 62 or so in 4th at like 2900 or 3200 and 80mph at like 29 3k. This is good cuz it will help with gas mileage as well.

This would be good, but someone with more brain matter than me will have to figure it out. Anyone wanna volunteer to figure out the gear calculator thingy?

Is this the whole pumpkin assembly or just the guts? If you can get some ideas on pricing, I may be down for it.
