"The job of gears is to multiply the engine’s torque. So with a 250 TQ engine with 4.10 gears, your multiplied torque will be 1025."

Is this true? If then, what is the highest amount of torque a stock rear can handle?

Lmao. I'll do more research. on the torque question. But was the quoted statement true?

Gears do multiply torque, but the math isn't that simple.

Thank you TwoGTs4Us.

I have searched the forums for my "how much" question, but is it safe to say that a stock 96 GT rear with FMS 3.73/4.10 gear kit can handle at least 350hp / tq.

I just would like to know before I get gears dropped in and then realize I need a full built rear if I put a blower on the car.
