got1banshee Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I know there are alot of questions about gears but I never see anyone asking about the taller gears like 16/38 or 16/39. When I get my engine back it will have 16/41 and I think that will probably be to low. Will I see a huge diff if I go with a rear 39t? I have a 14,15,and a 16 to play with in the front but I was going to try a 16/39 first. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to figure out the gearing is trial and error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 16/39 is almost as tall as 17/41, one tooth higher on the front is roughly equal to three less on the rear. I agree with sredish, you'll just hafta try different combinations to get you where you want to be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 with jims motor you could run a 17, still loop it in third and do a 100mph as fast as you can stretch the long gears out, the worlds your oyster with his engine....
