Gears, Gearing and Speed

[stevenm357]

Ok, so I have been thinking about getting gears lately I have a M6 3:42's? and a friend has an A4 with 3:23's? I think anyway. that's not as important to me as this.

1 how would going to 3:73's or 4:10's or any of the combinations in between effect my shift points. right now i can JUST get to 60 in second gear ( that's abotu the shift point for me normally) I can't remember first. because it happens pretty quick. and it's been 3 months since i've driven the car hard ( or much at all)

so how will the gears effect shift points,

would it be better to change things in the Tranny since i have to redo the synchro's anyway,

and how would top speed be effected?

car is a street car first drag car rarely and some sporatic auto crossing and i'm planning a heads/cam upgrade this spring.

Why does that site warn me about harmful "Malware" being installed on my computer? Never seen that yet.

[stevenm357]

the site was hacked at some point. it's been fixed but mozilla still has it on the "shit" list use Internet Explorer instead of firefox.
