Re: I want new 3rd

But wouldn't changing the gear (not too drastically) allow for quicker acceleration when in that band? Sure, 4th will be reached sooner, but wouldn't the different ratio of 3rd allow for a better entry to 4th? And most of the time, I don't even shift to 4th. I don't do long races to 100+ mph. I mostly do dragging from a stop bc my car has the best speed from a stop. But I don't know. I'm just thinking. Any other ideas? Other trannys that would work?

Thanks
