Vehicle speed (mph), engine speed (rpm), tire diameter (inches), trans gear ratio, and rear axle gear ratio are all interrelated. If you know four out of five of these values, you can determine what ...

Few vehicle modifications have as major an impact as changing gear ratios, and it's because your car's gear ratio directly translates to how it delivers power. Think about it: The gear ratio, or how ...

To make this gear ratio comparison possible, we used a car equipped with a 9-inch Ford housing and had Drivetrain Warehouse set up three centersections with 3.00, 3.50 and 4.11 gearsets. We also used ...

It's a simple formula that most four-wheelers are intimately familiar with: The deeper your crawl ratio, the more control you have out on the trail, particularly on steep, nasty obstacles. The more ...
