ok i have a question how much does the gear reductions change the final drive ratio? Cause ive been wanting to change the drive ratio in my X but i don't want to do it threw CB's and Spurs. Its either the gears in the tranny or the diff's that gear the savage to low IMO. So if you could explain how much of a difference it made for example it would be like putting a 18 tooth CB in vs. the stock 15 tooth or swap the spur gear for CB just need an idea of how much it changed the drive ratio. Btw Great work JT.
Well I can quote myself from earlier in the thread, maybe this will answer your question
You will need to change the spur/CB to get the same ratio as if you were using stock diffs.
For comparsion in 3rd gear
stock is 14.61:1 when using 17/49 gearing
CEN is 14.45:1 when using 15/49 gearing
(Thanks to lizard for doing the math)
