^^post #12, nm9
All the starter gear ratios I mentioned in post#10, are 4-gear ratios, and the reason is per post #12.
Some of us clued into the 3-gear handicap right off.
That cam could make peak power at well past 5500, probably nearer to 5800. but lets take 5600 for sake of arguement . And lets apply this to the 1-2 shift only.With a 3-gear stick, it will want to be shifted at around 6800 or more , to drop in at 3975. Thats a short-shifted powerband requirement of 2825.I dont think they make an LSA wide enough to get out of that hole,in any kind of hurry with 323s.
If it had a 4-gear in it, it could be outshifted at 6500, and drop in at 4680(266low),presenting a well centered powerband of just 1820. Which will work with the 107 LSA
But since most guys are gonna short-shift at 6000 or 6200, that puts the drop-in around 3500.Can you spell SLUGGISH.
No timing in the world will wake that up.
