Default Potential Gear Changers? Copy This Down...

GEAR BOX:
M-6 ------- M-12
----------------------------------
1. 2.66 ------- 2.97
2. 1.78 ------- 2.07
3. 1.30 ------- 1.43
4. 1.00 ------- 1.00
5. .74 -------- .84
6. .50 -------- .56
R 2.90 -------- 3.28

Trans: MN6/3.42...MN6/3.73.....MN6/3.90.....MN6/4.10.....MN12/3.42
1...........9.09..............9.92...... .......10.37.............10.93.......... ...10.89
2...........6.08..............6.64...... .......6.94...............7.31.......... .....7.08
3...........4.44..............4.85...... .......5.07...............5.34.......... .....4.89
4...........3.42..............3.73...... .......3.90...............4.10.......... .....3.42
5...........2.53..............2.76...... .......2.88...............3.04.......... .....2.87
6...........1.71..............1.86...... .......1.95...............2.05.......... .....1.91
NOTE: This does not include the Z06 tire which is .5 of an inch shorter than the taller LS1 rear runflat.

This effectively lowers the Z06 rear gear to a "3.50" when the two are compared side by side.

Yeah, I learned that when I was concerned about the front and rears having a setting that was TC/AH friendly (since I'm 18's front & rear). :cheers:

Yeah...I was thinking the same thing! Nice charts, but missing the final overdrive gear, which is actually useful with the taller gears/MN6 combo.
