Title: Anyone planning lower gear swaps in the future?

Would this be some extra available power on tap?

It could, but traction is a real problem right now. But Dan at LMS believes it would be relatively easy to to change gearing. As the base model taurus has a 3.38 final drive. But still requires removing the trans.

Probably would not be beneficial without drag radials or slicks.  PP cars with just a tune (goodyear f1's) are spinning pretty bad so I hear.  Typically turbo cars like the lower gears for more load and torque.  JMO.

Hello I have a question about traction and going to a smaller wheel. I have 22 inch all season tires now. Car dyno at 421 whp and 450wtq. Was wondering if I should use a 18 or 19 of the track with obviously different tires cause the hit chewed and were like new before I took her to the track. Any help would be appreciated.  What size tire/rim brand... thanks

what would be the benefit of changing ratios and if any cost/performance gain...

Those are both 2 of my questions also.

Wow! Did a double take when I saw a response from Crash, then noticed the date.
RIP buddy!
