Reply to "RBT 6"

Hey Julian,

Thinking? Always, though not sure how seriously when it comes to the 6. Lot's of dough just to have an extra gear.

As you know there are a number of choices with respect to gearing. They can be configured essentially identical to standard -2 at the output flanges in 1 through 5 but with an extra gear spaced about the same or even taller for cruise.

Right now I basically just beat my car around the countryside blacktops and 5.5-6krpm in 5th is plenty of top end for the street. But if I were to take some more extended excursions, the cruise gear would be nicer than buzzing 3krpm at 70 mph but I can't say I'd go out my way to have it at the moment.

I have a standard -2 in my car. Plenty of torque on tap and even with the big meats, 1st is a little lower than needed though it's OK for idling up the driveway and doggin around. I like the gear spacing in standard -2 just fine and have a 3.77 Ring an pinion to install. It won't do much for the cruise rpm but may improve the first gear experience a bit. Have a spare -2 that may get freshened up with that gear.

Best Regards,
Kelly
