Help me with A833 Gear ratio choice wide or close!

I can't imagine coming out of the hole wide open with a 3.09 first and then trying to hit a 1.92 second gear with any combo, that's a 1.18 drop between the 1st and 2nd. WOW. all other A833's have a 2.66, 2.65, 2.47,AAR/TA, and2.44 first gear. I know they sell boxes and talk up the 3.09 and I just can't see what they are wanting to accomplish performance wise. I use a regular 18 spline and a 23 spline and gear the axle for what I am wanting to accomplish. Then there is tire diameter also. good luck

I did it. Still do it. Lots of guys did it.

The big deal is getting the car moving. I have a 14:1 overall first gear and it’s not quite low enough yet.

With my drag car the best 60 foot and ET came with a 3.09 box. And that was a bit over 17:1 in low gear. You have to get the car moving.

Also you’ll notice I said to see if Passon has a gear set that puts the split going into high gear. It’s better if you can do it that way, but someone has to make the gear set.
