Guest Pegasus76 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 When packing a 350 engine, iron heads, 4150 holly carb and a weland stealth intake...With a T-5 Transmission from a 85 Camaro would 3.73 gears drop the tranny? Or can I go lower or should I go higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 The T5 is going to break from shock load, not from contiuous load. (DON'T rev it up and dump the clutch, don't speed shift it, either.) The higher the numeric ratio, the easier the load on the trans, but the faster you will have to shift out of each gear and the higher your cruise RPM. The 3.70 LSD rear is perfect for a T5 IMO, but the 3.54 will work quite well also. 3.90 are another option, but not really neccessary.
