So, basically the low gear ratio, shorter gear, numeric higher gear is quicker(0 to 60 mph) but a lower top speed.
I am happy with my 4.67.
Now Ponder this.. How could a Suzuki Samurai(65 hp, OBD 1)first gear ratio of 3.5 something, transfer case 4 to1 low and axle ratio 4:30 with lockers on 33s. Pull a 30 foot RV with a sand rail on a flat bed trailer stuck in sand. 300 feet across the Pismo dunes , and then 300 feet in to the dunes where a small block ford f150 could not.
Gearing baby!!!!
