How do you think a M22z with a first gear 2.98 and a 3.36 rear gear would perform. The output drive ratio would be 10.01 for 1st gear which would be a power horse off the line. Would it be too much?
Here is how the final output drive ratio compares. The biggest difference is 1st gear. For a performance car, the recommended 1st gear output ratio is 10.
M22Z 1st gear final drive ratio = 10.01 2nd gear final drive ratio = 6.85 3rd gear final drive ratio = 4.93 4th gear 3.36
Current M20 1st gear final drive ratio = 8.47 2nd gear final drive ratio = 6.31 3rd gear final drive ratio = 4.91 4th gear 3.36
