hey guys can some one tell my why the 1.76 gear would be better for the lite car...would it be more cons. or better of the line ..just asking to learn something here....also i think the car will come in about 23/2400 lbs

With all the power at hand you wouldnt need the steeper
low gear... that helps with heavier cars to get the
weight rolling... I have a glide that I was going to
put behind my B-1 M/C 514ci Daytona... (but I sold
the engine).. I set that up with the 1.76 low because
the car would be light(same weight as what your friend
is using

3000 lb car with PG, 1.76 gear and 5400 rpm stall. You really don't want or need the 1.80 in a 2400 lb car.

Honestly I don't think the numerical difference in ratio is that big a deal. I just prefer a straight cut gear, especially in a doorcar.

the straight cut must be stronger, takes a lot of power to need to back down low gear.
