I knew it would last....... you won't lose hp it will lower the hp in the same mph level.. this is becuase the end of the rpm range of the engine will come up quicker meaning the car will run out sooner..

sounds about right to me.....[8D]

dude explain how the add torque?

its very simple, the greater the ratio the more torque that the wheels output. i thought you would understand this concept, it is very basic.

Yeah thats what Im saying, at the wheels, there should be more torque with higher gears. But maybe overall torque is unchanged, its just more concentrated.

that is exactly whats happening, torque at the wheels is greater. speed of the car at a given RPM is lower so together HP is not changed. but acceleration is changed, and its greater.

gears are just an added fulcrum from motor to the tires.

It just takes less power to turn the wheels to sum it up

Correct, it multiply's the torque is all, power output from the engine does not change by putting something in the differential, duh! It only changes how the power gets to the ground. Although power doesn't change, 1/4 mile times and speeds do, go figure!

Yeah Im happy you guys can see what Im asking, like its not a newb question. You would just think that you would have way more torque at the wheels on a dyno with 4.10s over 3.08s or something.
