Gears VS RPM Graph Argument
Gears VS RPM Graph Argument For example 4.10 VS 4.30 gears.
I would think the power graph and peak hp would stay exactly the same, but it would take just a tad longer to run thru the gears with 4.10 gears..hence they are wider a tad..
Is this correct or will powerband somehow would some how change with the same exact setup (just different gears) as my buddy claims?!
Another question is would you lose few hp with 4.10 gears over 4.30 gears on a chassis dyno?

The higher the numerical gear, the lower your power/torque numbers are going to be. The powerband and curves don;t change however.
You would lose power going from 4.10 to 4.30 but not much. Now if you went from 2.73 to 4.30, your dyno would show the difference.

When you go to a shorter gear the drivetrain accelerates faster. Therefore more power is deticated to the drivetrain and less to the wheels. You will show less hp on a chassis dyno, but will be faster on the street.
