Ok I'm fairly certain this adds up but I just want to be sure.
I have a T-5 with a 3.35 first and .68 OD (according to the tag on the trans). My rear end gears are currently 2.79
My overall gear ratio in first gear is (2.79x3.35) 9.35
My overall gear ratio in fifth gear is (2.79x.68) 1.9
Reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking of getting 3.55 gears and if I multiply .68x3.55 I get 2.41 as a final gear. Which is still lower that my original 2.79, so if I go with that gear my rpms will be lower in fifth gear than if I was in 4th gear with my 2.79s.
I would just like to be sure that my math is correct before I start buying things.
Thanks
