Thread: Is there a way to estimate how much a gearing change will change acceleration?

it really probly isn't worth the effort as the speed or et won't be much to write home about---shine it up and take it to shows--you can buy a mustang for less than 3500 that can run some decent numbers

I agree, the difference won't be worth the work of swapping it. It ain't gonna be a screamer with that tall a ratio anyway.

Well, I haven't been to an o-fficial track, but I ran against a friend that ran a 14.2 second 1/4, and I'm quite a bit faster than he is. If going from 2.47 to 2.88 will buy me 0.5second I'd say it's worth it. Will it?
