ok so a fellow sn members mechanic is telling him that gears will shorten his engine life because his car will have more stress...
saying that any gear change at all is a bad idea, but going anything more that 3.73s will ruin your engine... now i'm not here to fight about wich gear is better.. so keep those comments down please.. anyways... i need a hand proving him wrong...
his arguement is that the car will rev higher while coasting at a given MPH, so that will shorten engine life, used the example that if you have a higher gear ratio, its like the engine has gone double the distance, due to the rpm..
i think he is just afraid of the gear, and a moron lol..
discuss..
