 So, Scott - you'd go with the 4.25 over the 3.94 for somewhat normal street driving? Interesting...
FWIW - the speed calculator on the .org doesn't seem to be quite accurate. With my 3.67 R&P and a .80 5th, the calculations don't jibe (unless something fishy is in there...hmmm...)

you do and I'll be happy to suggest some ratios. For instance, for backroad
driving with a hot cammed 2.0l 16v motor, I built the following combo:

4.25 r&p/ 1: 3.45, 2: 1.94, 3: 1.44, 4: 1.13, 5: .89, 6: .75

If a five speed is more your budget, just do a 4k with .80 or .75 fifth
gear. That'll do ya fine.

What is the typical gearing with these transmissions? Is sixth just a little
taller ie .75 or .71 or are the other gears shorter ie a fisrt gear of 3.67
or 3.84 or the like. I'm guessing they'll put in whatever one prefers but
wondering what is the best use.

Yeah...like I could ever afford one for my 'Roc. Still it is intriguing. I
think I would use shorter gears like I suggested for acceleration and use
the added 6th for highway use.
