And gearing all affects the torque put to the ground yall.......

Dan04COBRA

But it doesn't actually increase torque numbers.

I think we both get the idea we are pushing on eachother.

jeep45238

You're right, it doesn't, because I'm not talking about flywheel, but rather torque application to the asphalt.

You know what i mean, I know what you mean. Freindly, yet evil argument in which both parties are correct, lol.

Dan's right...that's why when you install different rearend gears, the rwhp, & ft-lbs are skewed on the dyno as compared to the pulls with the 3.27 installed. I can see the 302 making more lowend ft-lbs if the 4.6 was a pushrod, Even with higher hp #'s the 4.6 would lack the gunt of the 5.0. But as it is...the modular makes better stock #'s everwhere.


Pushing is fun

GSXRIntensity

you posted exactly when I did. I can see your point too lol. There is no end. We have to agree to AGREE lol

No more then 4.10s in a 5.0 and usually at least 4.10s in a 4.6L be it SOHC or DOHC.

Dan04COBRA

Doesn't happen much in this place either, although we never seem to cross paths very often.

okay look at my 99 cobra dyno pull thats with3.27sgears..long tube headder no cats.k/n filter nothing else,,look at the toque almost 300 ft lbs o and pulleys....the 99s where down on power that year, stock they had 256 at the rear wheels..just look at what bolt ons can do..

Is your stang a auto or 5spd? I still cannot imagine anyone wanting more than 3.73s in even a lightly modded 5spd. With 3.73s and regular raidals I couldnt even come close to hooking up in first. Even with the DRs I still have a bit of wheelspin near readline. 2nd was a real problem with traction till the DRs, was spinning and then bogging down if I shifted real hard.

GSXRIntensity

What brand DR's do you have?

3.73's = [&:][:'(][:@]

4.10's = [8D]

anytime you regear, a set of DR's should already be starved into the financial equation IMO, cuz they are needed. I stand by what I said. Nothing less than 4.10's on a N/A 4.6L. Anything else...might as well save the $$$, & keep the stock gearing

Just to rattle your cage a little...maybe you don't understand why 4.10's are so much better, because you are also in that "I'M COOL CUZ MY FLOWMASTER EXHAUST DOESN'T GIVE ME ANY HORSEPOWER" crowd[8D]
