Well heres the deal...

We all know that we have PLENTY of pull in 1st and 2nd, even 3rd... stock!

BUT 4th & 5th have NO pull at all in low RPMS

My goal is to get those gears to have as much power at low RPM's as 1st 2nd & 3rd have.

I dont think you can achieve with with gearing lower (numerically higher) Because you'd be just raising the RPM's throughout the the whole tranny.

I dont want to have a half second 1st gear, ya know?

I think my only option is to cam the motor and build it up more to get more power overall. But LOW rpm torque is what I'm after, NOT high rpm power... we all know the GT has plenty of pull between 2800 and 3000 rpms...

I want more in the 1000-2800 range
A cam and bolt on's will do that
