Okay, i've been reading the forums about gears and t-loks. So, i'm going to ask the stupid question. What are they, and what do they do performance wise?

 

We have already discussed this in an earlier post, probably 2 days ago at the most, so I'm going to be brief. Tloks are rear wheel differentials, they keep both tires on the ground and supply even power to the tires to get traction, stock V6s don't have one and therefore only the back right wheel supplies the power. Gears help boost accelleration, bigger gear numbers, bigger boost in accelleration. 4.10:1 mears gears turn 4.10 times per engine cycle, 3.73:1 means 3.73 revs per engine cycle, see 4.10:1 has the higher gear number, more cycles, more power delivery to the wheel. In other words they don't generate rwhp, just transfer more hp from the engine to the rear wheels.

 

to put it even more mildly. they make your car accelerate faster and give you that "OMFG" feeling when they kick you back into your seat.

GOD I can't wait! Mine have been shipped. COME ON UPS!! HURRY!!!!!!

 

Hope you like them, let us know how they feal. Damn, It's beer thirty.[sm=icon_cheers.gif][sm=alcoholic.gif]

 

yea pony tell me how they r.

 

Once I get them installed, might be a while. I'm gonna drive it to death! LOL

 

heard you're supposed to wait about 50 or so miles before really getting on them.

 

I think this is backwards. The engine turns 4.1 times for one gear turn.
(but not nessecarily, 4.1 drive shaft turns = 1 wheel turn, engine has to go thru tranny gears also)

higher ratios mean more torque less top speed
lower ratios mean less torque higher top speed
