Basically I am changing the 4 speed gear ratio from: 2.20 / 1.64 / 1.28 / 1.00

to: 2.52 / 1.88 / 1.46 / 1.00

It will be a lot better on the street and out of the hole at the strip.

Plus the gears are made of stronger material than a typical M20 and they are machined at a 20 degree helix angle on the gearset as opposed to a 30 degree angle.

If my math is correct it will make my 3.73 rear gears feel like 4.26 in 1st changing from a 2.20 to a 2.52 first gear.

You can also upgrade to the very strong, "Italian Gears"
