This coould be a controversial thread
->) ! But it's a honest assessment question at the least !
I've been talking to a buddy about this topic how a 373 vs 410 gear would compare on a street roll.
We're deciding what is the advantage of a gear trade off.
Lets say you have 2 same model GT500's ....or Mustangs and one makes 20RWHP more.
So say one makes 650FWHP with 410's ....the other 670 with 373 gears.
They are rolling along at 25mph. One has 373's ( likely in 1st maybe 3000rpm?).
The other has 410's ( likely in 2nd maybe 2500rpm?)
Assume they both get traction with MT's or Nittos. They hit it together and go thru to top of 4th gear.
Does the 410 geared car get out and stay out a bit all way to top of 4th ?
Or does the 373 geared car gather up the top end and make it's moves tp pass the winding 410 at the top of each shift ?
We agreed of course at the top of 4th the 373 would have 1-2-300rpm of mph left. We could equalize that by running it to 125mph. We were thinking about effect of 410's even if it's just a 2nd to 3rd wind out.
I'm thinking with all else being equal ( traction) the 410's get the jump using torque and quick revving and stays out
despite giving up the extra 20 HP .
