final drive ratio
I think there was a topic on this already a month or two ago. Its a 3.29 axle ratio, but the drive chain reduction makes it 2.93 in the end. All i know is mine rings out to 61 mph in 1st spinning to 6500 RPMS now lol
NO BOG on the 1-2 anymore.

Both are right. 3.29 final gear, 2.93 effective final drive via non 1:1 chain drive.
Took a calculator to it and even allowing for a generous amount of error with my tach and speedo, my '06 definitely has an effective ratio of 2.93. No where close to 3.29.
