I need advise or direction to a calculator to determine a ball park gear ratio for the T.
It has 32 in tall tires, a 1 to 1 high gear. The speedo seems about half right and I do not have a tach yet. The rear axle is a chebby S-10, I think, probably a high 2 or 3.00 ratio. I know there are a lot of unknowns and I will pull the cover to find the ratio, but with the tall tires I can cruise the 2 lanes in second and the engine is loafing. I do this for a little more pep. I am not into high speed, but would not want to cripple myself on the highways. I was thinking high 3's or 4.10. The tire heighth will stay. The T needs them for proper stance and appearance.
