What gernby said.

Lower (numerically higher) gearing is generally good for improved zero-to xx mph times, but not necessarily good for xx-yy mph times!

At autoX, the track, or from a roll, it will depend on what speed you're accelerating from. "Better" diff gearing may well make you slower since you may have to be in the next transmission gear vs stock diff gearing.

 

anyone know what cruising rpm would be in an AP2 with 4.44s at 75mph?

 

4290 rpm

 

^really? that's it? I was expecting it to be a bit higher. maybe some 4.44s are in my future.

 

I am assuming if you are supercharged or turbo charged you would all suggest leaving the gears alone? What do you guys think?

 

i was thinking about going 4.44 on my vortech'd ap2 running 8lbs but now considering 4.57. interested in anyone's experience with ap2 running 4.44 or 4.57.

 

Do you have any trouble maintaining traction in 1st gear? If so, then stock gears are definitely better.

 

i was also curious about the 4.44's if anyone can chime in that ad them i would appreciate it.

 

Aren't the 4.44's much weaker than the 4.57's? I remember something about them being designed for a much less powerful car, but the 4.57's were designed from the beginning for the S2000.

 

I think 4.44 is the best. Fits perfectly, unlike others and is gives good balance between acceleration and daily driving.
