again, 2v does not =4v, were talking 4v motors here, people.
yes, but ur formula's off.
if 4.10 = 3.73 then 4.30 would not = 4.10
it'd be:
2V-----4V
4.10=3.90
4.30=4.10
I had 4.10's on mine. Awesome acceleration. Saying that, terrible gas mileage. 16 hwy. If I took the the car to work, it burn 1/2 tank of gas a day. If I had to do it all over again, I would have put 3.73's in.
I am not satisfied by 4.10s, but that is only because they are not emissions legal in CA. No higher than 3.73s here or you get in trouble.
I guess, technically, I am not satisfied with my California Air Resources Board (CARB), not the 4.10 gears.
Gears don't effect emissions.
I don't know about that. If you have a higher RPM, each piston goes up and down many more times per mile. Each time it comes up on the exhaust stroke, it pushes out a volume (cubic inch displacement) of burned exhaust gases.
If your gas mileage goes down, you're obviously burning more gasoline each mile you travel and creating more exhaust.
You're not changing the efficiency of the engine but you are increasing the volume of exhaust you're putting out.
The smog tests are done at certain speeds. Usually in 2nd gear in a certain RPM range. All the tester would have to do is shift in into 3rd gear.
I love the results of my 4.10 gears when im really on the gas, but to be completely honest when I am cruising around everyday it's mildly irritating. I like to shift at low RPM's (2,000) and it takes forever to get moving. That's my only complaint, but hey you can't have everything, I just wanted you to know the truth.
I appreciate the honesty.
Dave,
I dont mean to beat an old horse to death bc I've already posted on this. However, this thread is getting really long. Taking advice from people with 2v's is like comparing apples to oranges. Your car is not going to respond anywhere similar to all the peoples cars in here with 2v's and 4.10's.
