imo, the right converter is key to the whole deal. i've had cars with loose converters and very tall gears, and everytime i put steeper gear in it, i'd end up going back to the freeway gears. the gain was not worth the cost in wear and tear, noise, fuel mileage, et cetera. but i always had the best converters i could afford, and i believe that was why my combos worked.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
