Reply to "changing fifth gear to a taller ratio"

Tony,

I installed the tallest 5th gear Lloyd Butfoy makes. It's a .620, this knocks 500RPM off the engine and achieves a satnav indicated 100MPH at 4000RPM with a 4.22 ring and pinion.
It's the best single improvement I have made to the car. I did not want a 3.77 as I have 335/17 rear tyres.

It makes high speed cruising much more enjoyable and quieter!

I also have a 1984 Porsche 911 3.2, this pulls a satnav indicated 100MPH at 4000RPM as standard so I think the Pantera is a bit low geared anyway.

I dont know about pricing you need to talk to Lloyd.
