The wide ratios look great on paper but the rpm swings are huge, unlike an 833.
Ever skip gears in a 5 spd. It'll kinda be like that. 1,3,5.
it's not that bad, spread is similar to a 700R4....just have to build an engine with a wide plateau for a torque curve
ratios in the A833OD are 3.09/1.67/1/.73
700R4 are 3.06/1.63/1/.7
so if you shift at say, 6000 RPM with an A833OD, the 1-2 drops to 3240 RPM, the 2-3 drops to 3590 RPM....if you build a mild motor aiming for a torque peak in the 3500-4000 RPM range, with a little wider LSA to carry more torque up higher, shooting for a HP peak in the 5500-6000RPM range, it should be a very satisfying combo...
