anybody tried 4.88s in a 6psd??? if so, let me know, how you liked it

 

I doubt anyone around here has that high of a rear-end gear ratio. The highest I've ever seen is 4.56's for the stock 10 bolt anyway, and then the teeth are way too thin.

 

You would never grip....

 

Ive got 4.33, and ive seen one or two with 4.56.

Most of the 6 speed guys go with 410s

 

Seen several 4.56s (one was even in an a4 ), but never a 4.88 in the stock 10bolt anyway.

 

i should have just said that, i have a m26 93 6spd, and it has lower gear ratio than 94 in up 6spd, so if i put 4.56s in it, i would be little like 4.88s. cause i had 4.10s and rpms were same as my friend with his 4.56s. just wondering

 

That would be to much gear. Either that or run a cam that pulls to bout 7500 then it would be sweet. I thought one guy said he was runnin what was it 4.70's in a 9 inch? oh well i cant remember.

 

i have 4.10's and they are perfect. I think anything higher would just be too much

 

That ratio would be steeeep!

 

Do you mean the M29? If so the 1st gear is the only one that should be really steep. The gears will get gradually closer as you go to 4th. (4th is always a 1.00:1 gear for all Fbody 6spds) The M29 is just not as close ratio as the regular MN6.

 

Are you setting your car up for the 1/8th mile?

 

I run a 4.71 gear(9" rear end), a 28x10.5 et drag and can spin up to 7000 rpms. Unless you can do the same your gonna run out of gear way before the 1/4 mile.

With a stock size tire a 4.88 final ration on a 1:1 4th gear is good for 99 mph at 6300 rpms.
