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"

I have done a little research on the M222W gears and have heard that they are supposed to be good up to 600hp and that 1st gear is the weak point.

I guess we'll find out!

The source that told me was a tranny line tech at the local Chevy dealer for the last 31 or 32 years. He does about 10 muncies a year yet for local friends so I kinda trust what he says.

What he tried to tell me is that he personally popped a few from what he told me in his with a semi stock LS7 crate motor that he bought back in the 70s with 411s. He was telling me it didn't like powershifting and I don't remember if it was from 2-3 or 3-4.

I received my valvetrain yesterday. I ordered these parts on Wednesday. The cam was custom built and I still got everything on Saturday!











Plus I got my 811 water pump back from Arthur Gould. It sure looks a lot better than it did. Thanks for the tip to send it to him.
