Hey guys,

ive heard some say that with the 4 speeds the 3.09 gearset is better for drag racing. I can understand where this generalization comes from since the tall first gear will help the overall first gear ratio and therefore decrease the chances of bogging. However, my concern is the drop in rpm when shifting from 1-2 as i noticed that the second gear ratio is the same as regular 2.66 boxes (i think around 1.91...in the od boxes the second is 1.71 i believe)....Is this drop enough to warrant not running this setup? I dont have a 3.09 gearset right now, but im wonderinf if they are worth picking up since id really like to have more first gear for launch without having to swap a more unfriendly rear end gear ( i have 3.91's right now)

thanks!
Matthew
