admdavs said:Being a complete mechanical retard- can anyone help me with what the best gear ratio would be for my almost purchased '03 Cobra. I understand now that they sit at 3.55:1- (Though I really don't even know what that means ) I've been reading here that 3.73 is the way to go, but two questions: 1) What does 3.55:1 mean? and 2) Why is 3.73 better to have??
Thanks in Advance

missouri_guy197 said:3.55:1 means that for every revolution of your rear wheel, your drive shaft is going around 3.55 times...so if you bump them down to 3.73's the wheel will spin faster at the same given RPM since the drive shaft is going around about a 1/4 more each revolution of the tire...
ahhh yes, that makes sense1999SVTVert said:With 3.55s you are correct, one revolution of the tire=3.55 revolutions of the driveshaft. But, if you switch to 3.73s the tire will be spinning slower at the same given RPM. This allows you to get in the powerband faster (at a lower MPH)
No 99's have a T45, 01's have the T3650BadAzzTT said:No, the 01's have the t45
