jaymz Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I have a 1600 crossflow esky, when i put the engine back in it will have a mild road/race cam (still to find out specs) over sized valves side draft carbs and a good exhaust system. I'm pretty sure i need to change the diff head too. I think i have a 4.11? pretty sure but not 100%. I want it to bequick of the mark but the still be able to pull out and pass cars when doing 60 - 80 kph. I was thinking a 3.77 a 3.54 might be a bit to slow off the mark. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2DR73XA Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 ask the guy your getting your cam of what the cams specs are, ie when your most power/torque comes in, he may recommend a ratio that will compliment the cam etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
