Some of you guys can't justify the GVod.
Some cannot understand 32mpgs with a 367.
Some of you just don't like me.
Ok I get that.
But do you really have to run yur mouths off at things you don't understand?
Just cuz you can't do what I do, doesn't mean it can't be done.
To repeat the story;
the day I tracked my car, I had 3.55s in the back, and the Commando A833, and as always, I was splitting gears. The first four road-gear ratios are;
10.97-8.55-6.82-5.32 The splits are .78-.80-.78
with 5.32s the math says she hits 93@6220.......
the powerband requirement of this combo, shifting at say 5800, would thus average ~1200rpm.
If you cannot see the value of 4 ratios to 93mph, which being two electric full-throttle shifts and one pull on the stick, and the engine sitting right at peak power for almost the entire Eighth; well, your insults are water off a duck's back.
There is a reason small engines have CVTs, and my GVod splitter works with my transmission almost the same way.
So, just cuz you guys can't make it happen,
doesn't mean it can't be done.
BTW to pull this trick with a regular A833 and say 5.38s; the road ratios would be;
14.31-10.33-7.53-5.38, the splits are .72-.73-.71, an average of say, .72- So again, shifting at 5800, the Rs will drop to 4180, so a powerband requirement of 1620.
Of course, that 14.31 is as good as useless ..... so, you would probably gear it for three gears in the Eighth.
Ok so to get 5.32 in third, you need about 3.73s in the back; so, the road-ratios are;
9.92-7.13-5.22-3.73, but ok, I'll give you the Commando low gear, and
11.53-----7.13-----5.22-----3.73 compared to my
..10.97-8.55-6.82-5.32----------------------2.77
BTW, my third gear is 4.97, for 93=5765; lemme put that in the line-up for you, with the rest of 'em;
..10.97-8.55-6.82-5.32/4.97-3.88/3.55-2.77
Hyup, 8 stinking usable ratios, that I use in several different ways.
But if you run a 4.10 like some guys do, then
12.67(Commando)-7.87-5.74-4.10; with 26.5s that makes for 93=4840 in Fourth/6770 in Third.
So there ya go, try to find the perfect rear end/tire/and cam combo, to use the regular A833, in the Eighth; good luck with that.
I hit the numbers with a smaller cam, because of the agreeable ratios on both ends, plus the 180psi CCP, plus; I only have to tug on the shifter but one time.
But you know,
I'm just a streeter,
so what do I know ........
Go ahead insult me some more;
it speaks directly to your character .....
