i never understood this. on a bicycle, it's easier to turn the higher gears faster. same on cars. why does increasing the number of teeth on the gearset make it easier for the engine to turn it faster?

thanks

 

Read through this and see if it doesn't answer your questions.

 

I dont think the teeth count has much to do with speed. I think its diameter. More teeth I think just makes it grip better. Its all about rotational acceleration and speed.

the diameter is the exact same as stock or else it wouldn't fit into the diff housing. imma read the thing now, N...

thanks a bunch for nothing, N!! j/k I'm not THAT stupid. close, though. i understand all that, but since the 4.56 ratio is not any different in diameter, why does it make it easier to rev the engine?

(best website ever, BTW)

 

Last one (and most in depth).

 

please see above edited post. ive read all of those before and agree that its a great website. coulda just sat there and read that instead of going to school. but i still didn't see an explanation for this question.

 

With what he said.!

 

ok, if you agree, then how bout you just write a brief explanation instead of linking me to a place that doesn't answer the question?

thanks
