A closer ratio box with a higher first and closer second to third would also make a difference, keeping the engine in the power band continuously. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Com. Au Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 2:11 PM Subject: diff upgrade - best ratios to use for hillclimb car I have decided that the next mod that I am going to do to my car is to look at the diff ratio's. The car is mostly used for hillclimbs, plus the odd super sprint & tarmac road rally.   Is there any reason why i shouldnt just go for a 5.1 ? could that ratio be too much, would a 4.9 be better ?   at the moment i have the stock 4 speed box but will probably put a 5 speed in the car when the 4 speed breaks. any advice appreciated   thanks Jeff --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to membersozdat@datascribe.com.au No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to membersozdat@datascribe.com.au No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to membersozdat@datascribe.com.au No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
