TRUE THAT!

 

When I race my buddy we both had LS motors basically stock, he had a LS tranny and I had a Y1. I pulled away when I got into 3rd gear. So how does having longer gears benefit you?

 

a longer gear is better for a higher hp motor the same thing that helps you in a low hp motor hurts you in a high hp motor.... a high boost set up turbo motor will pull harder with a LS tranny a low hp b16 works awsome with a y1 tranny.... its more about the motor but honda used the short gears to keep the car in its peek power band......LS has a low power band and good tq pull wich is the reason for the long gears.... might wana look into this a little more before you start going on about it

 

How will a high boost setup pull harder with the LS tranny? I have tried both types of trannies on N/A and turbo's motors. I've had fast 1/4miles times with the shorter gears.

 

ummm i guess you didnt catch the sarcasm next time i will put it like this so you dont get confused


*begin sarcasm*
O shit son
*end sarcasm*

does that clarify

 

The sarcasm was clear. The rest of your post didn't make much sense, though. That's why the sarcasm seemed odd to me.

 

Okay. I'm done here. There's really no point in arguing until you're a little more knowledgable.

 

More knowledgable? You didn't prove why long gears would better then short?

 

Yes, more knowledgable. I'm done. I'm not wasting my time.

 

This is my point, no honda motor makes more power at 5500 than it does at 6500 or 5000 than it does at 6000. Why would anyone want to fall to a lower power level between shifts? If you had long gears you'd fall to a lower power band. If your turbo'd, your turbo may be at full boost at 5000rpm under full load in a higher gear, but turbos are load dependent, not rpm dependent. If you shift and fall to 5500 you have a better chance of falling out of boost and having a little lag between shifts. The higher you can keep the rpms between shifts, the less lag you will have. You would want to fall back in your power band when you shift.
