The phone number listed in that thread for Lloyd Butfoy is a fax. Does anyone have a current number he can be reached at and spoken withOr does anyone know what a ring and pinion costs?
Does anyone know if there are different gear ratio sets available such as maybe a 2.8 first gear with a close ratio 2, 3, 4, and the OD 5?
What I'm thinking is I'd like to have more launch in first without effecting the top gears or changing the 4.22.
My Richmond in my GT350 is a 3.27 first gear and 5th is 1:1 with a 3.50 rear.
It is a close ratio box and pulls very hard in all gears with little if any clutch slippage.
The Burgandy Express dropped into the 9's with just a change to a 5.25 rear, If it had a better 1st gear that might not have been necessary.
