bradles024 Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 15y 5m 24d Gender: Male Posted 30/06/11 05:34 AM Share Posted 30/06/11 05:34 AM Has anyone tried putting diff gears in these cars to lower the rpms a bit? I do a lot of 100km/h driving and it revs at about 2000rpm, where I would like it a bit lower. Would it have a massive effect on acceleration, being a turbo and all?

May make it fairly sluggish in the lower gears though as it is quite a big step backward from 3.73:1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75590-diff-gears-ba-f6/#findComment-1118879 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the back wheels would be turning at a different speedthan it thinks with different diff gears. The same effect that different size wheels has.
