Default 323-->373=? Lost RWHP

Curious as to how much rwhp you lose doing this gear change? Already done it, and am not really concerned, just curious really. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure its minimal and dependant on the type of gears, number of teeth etc. I'm sure the mechanical advantage will equate to more torque propelling the car improving 1/4 mi times and them are what really count in my book. I love torque...

I don't believe you actually "loose" anything, The farther you get from the perfect world of 1 to 1 the more askew the hp reading is going to be at the measuring point.
