RE: Curiosity
So let me guess here, the gear ratio is the number ofwheel revolutions vs. the number of drive shaft revolutions for example one full rotation of the drive shaft is equal to 4.10 full rotations at the wheel for 4.10 gears??????

RE: Curiosity
I thought it was the exact opposite? Hence why the top end decreases but acceleration increases with the taller the gear you go?
I went and bought a 12 bolt rear end and I can't remember how I measured the gear ratio but I turned the axles once and the small pinion turned 3 times or so? or do I have it completely backwards?

RE: Curiosity
Actually I think it's for every 4.10 turns of the drive shaft the wheel turns one full time. We did this test on a buddy of mines 5.0
The definition of gear ration is Number of turns of the driving force : Number of turns of the follower
example... 4.10 turns of the driver (drive shaft) : 1 turn of the follower (rear wheels)
