"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?

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.
