hi-ratio fifth & sixth

[OB_bigabusa]

It may be of interest that i am making hi ratio fifth and sixth gears. this was for the car world giving a better cruising speed, but it may be of use for low geared drag racers on the street. top speed is up 16%, the higher 5th splits the jump. the complete set (5th/6th) is approx.$700.

I hope the gears will be ready this week, I'm chasing! I just realised that the market for these may be much bigger than kit cars.
I can see that if you are geared right down for dragracing then a taller top end gear would be really useful. Like I said top is 15% taller than stock with 5th split to give a better gap between 4th and 6th. If there ready this week I will put them in my 1600. should be fun.

sorry i'm not a metallegist (can't even spell it). all I know is that its the best metal for the job.

 

[OB_THE MOTORHEAD]
