What gear ratio would you prefer for your series 2 9 bolt? This would be a gear set that would mount directly onto the existing series 2 carrier.

Options are

3.73
3.91
4.10

Thanks
Miles

 

3:91 but 3:73 would seem to work best overall. Hey Miles is 3:91 to much gear for an 700R4

 

3.73 is the max I'd go with a 700R4
3.91 would be good for a T56
4.10 I think is too much gear when it comes to overall drivability.

 

3.73 is good for no OD (ie. TH350, TH400)

3.91 is prolly good for a 700R4

4.10 is good for a T56... i've heard of 4th gens with 4.56 gears and still have low highway revs.

 

pretty much what everyone else said, i was wondering tho if there will be a 3.55 gear set available, i know theres 3.45s already available, but J/W.

 

Luckily, I already have a 3 series and I bought some 3.91's off a guy on here who never put his in.
I'm just waitin' on the support cover and that solid pinion spacer kit.

Although I have 3.91's, I think 3.73's and 4.10's would be the most marketable.

 

I have a 3:73 in my T/A, a built 700R4, and a built 355 with a wieand stealth intake, a CompCams 280H, 9.4to1 pistons etc. and I really like the 3:73, I am glad that I chose it over the 3:42 that I was looking at.

 

i went with 3:73's aswell, i'm very happy with my choice

 

Any info on when/if these will be available? I would love some series 2 3.73's and don't want the series 3 carrier and new gear set price...

 

I need a lot more serious interest than this before I make a special set of gears

Miles

 

What are the minimum numbers?

 

i think id like 3.73s
any estimated price on it?

 

3.73

Not to much gear - not to little


Do you realize how many guys with a factory 9 bolt series 2 carrier would rather upgrade just the gear instead of the gear AND the carrier !!

You have to consider all the guys out there that got the highway 2.77's in thier IROC's and Trans Ams that would take advantage of a "real" series 2 gear. Don't worry about the guys swapping T56's into thier car - they are the exception in the market.

You want to make a gear that guys with "factory" set-ups will buy ! Since the factory usually put the 2.77 gear in the 700R4 equiped cars. Make a gear that will compliment those cars ! My opinion is the 3.73.

I'm sitting on a 2.77 9 bolt and had NO plans for it other than parts if needed...... If I can get a set of "real" gears for it I might just restore it !

 

id rahter have 3.55 ratio then 3.45. being in my freinds mustang which is equipped with the 3.55s gears they are "perfect" for the particular setup.
