I stand corrected. Sorry!
Still, the front LSD is a good idea.

Good luck with this, Dan! Have you called TRE yet? If so, how was your experience with them?

Does anyone use this or know of anyone using this?

You want to use the EVO-8 4th gear in just about everything except a short track or rally car.

He is the low down on the gearing that I have available. Please note that I didn't make many of the 3.84 final drives and don't have plans on it unless there is some interest this time. Other ratios are in the works for the 6 speed.

I think that you real fast guys and those who have baller stroker engines will like these ratios.

EVO-9 1st - 4th gearset
EVO-8 5th gearset
3.73 final drive

Top speed in each gear is shown at 7000 rpm.

1st = 51
2nd = 73
3rd = 98
4th = 129
5th = 196

Fall back rpms listed below. Keep in mind that this is with revving the engine to 7000 in each gear and the rpm that the engine will be revolving at in the next gear.

51mph in 2nd gear = 4890
73 mph in 3rd gear = 5215
98mph in 4th gear = 5317
129 mph in 5th gear = 4607

That's all for now.
