Okay imagine a highly optimized race car thats setup with 4.56 gears. Then change to a 3.55 gear. Will that make the TC less effective on the launch? By much or so little it wont matter?
Im debating a combo that will have a 3.92, 4.10 or 4.56 gear choice. How much will the TC role play in such a senario?
Any input is appreciated
It wont change the torque converter... BUT you will
see a difference in total torque(torque of the engine
hasnt changed which will effect the converter)
but the total torque will (engine torque x converter,
usually 2 x at launch x gear in the trans x the
rear ratio and then tire diameter)
theoretically, going from say a 4.56 to a 3.23, shouldn't it stall *slightly* higher because you've changed the mechanical advantage on the output side, similarly to a TC should stall slightly higher in a heavier car than a lighter car if they have the same drivetrain?
