Default Found a set of 3.90 for f-body

Now that I have your attention, why are these not being made? or are they.

I just installed heads and cam in my TA and was wondering what you m6 guys with 23x/23x duration cams run for a gear? Are 4.10's to much?

I had a TR 224 and switched out to a TSP 232/234 and trying to take of kinda sucks because of the lack of lowend power. Granted I am not tuned quite yet.

Gear ratios can't be made just because the ratio seems nice. It needs to be able to be machined. In order to get that 3.90 ratio, you would need a specifc number of ring and pinion tooth count. It could be that the ring or pinion gear size can not support a matching tooth count to properly mate.

it depends on what your gonna trap in the q/m. you want to go through the traps at peak power in 1:1..on a m6..that is 4th gear. I think with 4.10s and shifting at 6k..you'll end up around 115 or so...if you rev higher, then it'll be different

are we talking 10 bolt or 12 bolt? 3 series or 4?
I desperately wanted 3.90s in a 4 series in my 12 bolt but couldn't find them
Motive had a long backorder on 3.90s and I had to settle for 3.73s

My dad has 3.90s in his 8.5" 10 bolt in his 72 nova. So i know theyre made. I think richmond made them. Not sure why they arent made for the 7.5 though.
