Please forgive my noobishness on this topic, but I see some people wanting shorter FD ratios (the majority) and some wanting longer ones (?FI people). I have an AT and want to have shorter gears for quicker acceleration, but I am also planning on going turbo (270-300whp) in the near future. Should I be looking for a shorter or taller FD? Mostly DD (50/50 city highway) with 5-6 track days per season. Thanks!
