Gears for boosted 6spd

[JustSomeGuy]

A 3.31 gear will be what you’d love with a manual and PD blower.

Others are alluding to 3.55 or 3.73, why do you say 3.31?

Because I know.

3.31 is only .42 to .24 difference in driveshaft rotation, but will give you a tad less wheel spin, which is more desirable for straight line. If you are drifting, then the tall sidewall is not desirable neither is a 3.31, you'd want 4.09 or something like that.

as helpful as that is and as much as I trust that you have the set up, I’m asking what makes it good? Why is that the desirable setup?

So if I said partially circuit, partially drift, 3.55 - 3.73?

3.55 might be a better spot for that and the street. May want different rear rim/tire set up for drifting too

I think if you keep the car NA then the 3.73 to 4.09 is fine for what you will use it for. The Whipple is great for big power, but for drifting and track use not so much

I am 100% putting a blower on it and my plan was Whipple. Are you saying FI isn’t good for my proposed intentions or specifically Whipple isn’t, but a dual turbo (for example) is?

I hear you on the rims/tires. Are you current rims 10"? You're going to want a 305 or 315 out back. You also may want to investigate upgrading the bushings, control arms and the like to stabilize the ride and mitigate any wheel hop. Good sticky tires and limiting deflection will keep the rear planted

Steeda stop the hop kit is worth the money mine go strait all day
