Hi guys I'm trying to get some idea of ratios but I can't find a website that show RPM as well as MPH I did find one the other week but seems to have vanished when I found out my 930 box was a paperweight.

So far I've come up with this

Tyre 26

Rpm 8k

1st 2.91
2nd 1.93
3rd 1.26
4th .96

FD 4.13

1st 51mph
2nd 82mph
3rd 119 mph
4th 156 mph

Cheers andy

Especially as that tyre calculates to 24.68 inches tall, put a 26inch tyre on there and that is stupid tall for a drag car Roll Eyes

Can you not get new ratios for the 930 box, or are the prices ridiculous?

Sounds like a simple case of needing more Horse Power

Wish you were on this side of the pond and I'd be glad to take it off your hands

I don't think power is the issue its being off boost that's the problem I should  be about 1100 bhp when done and I wont be spooling till 5.5k if I had a 3 mile track then I would use it lol
