Ok here's my delimma--- I have an LS1 with a T56 (out of a 2000 SS Camaro) and I will be running a 9" with a 25.5" tall tire (315/30/18).
How do I determine what Gear to run? If I use one of the online calculators-- do I use a 1:1 ratio or the .5 that 6th gear offers. I want strong acceleration with decent highway manners.
If I run the calculator using .5 and 2000 RPMs at 65mph-- I am coming up with a gear of 4.50+. This does not seem feasible-- I would guess 1st and 2nd gears would be useless.
Any suggestions?
