[quote=“somedude,post:15,topic:29341"”]

the gear ration is altered by changing the sprocket size for the chain before any of the gears or clutches so essentialy by going to the 3.19 ratio i would be lessening the stress on the transmission. so to counteract that i would get heads and cams. also i think i would be back to completing the 1/4 mile in second gear.

Actaully that would increase the stress on 3rd, and greatly so on 4th. Second not so much as the wheels would probably still break traction.
