just out of curiosity..? pt 2

what would be the optimum wheel diameter on 4age's w/ t50 for 0-125mph i believe mines is a 22 inch diameter ....195/50/r15 ...would going with a bigger diameter would benefit or degrade?

and far as w-series trannies i know they are stronger ....but would the w50-59 gear ratios is the same, better, worse than the t-50?

Gear Ratio my max i believe is 6400 w/ 4agze/t-50 trans/4.3 diff w 22 in. diameter tires

1st 3.59 2nd 2.02 3rd 1.38 4th 1.00 5th 0.86 @ 6000 rpms
mph 25...........45...........66..........91...........106.......... 6000 rpms
mph 21...........38...........55..........76...........89............ 5000 rpms
mph 17...........30...........44..........61...........71............ 4000 rpms
mph 13...........23...........33..........46...........53............ 3000 rpms
mph 8.............15...........22..........30...........35.............2000 rpms
mph 4.............8.............11..........15...........18.............1000 rpms

i compared it to the w-58 trans.... here is what i got w/ same tires & diff ratio
W-58
1st 3.29 2nd 1.894 3rd 1.275 4th 1.00 5th 0.783 @ 6000 rpms
mph 28..........48............72.........91............117........... 6000 rpm
mph 23..........40............60.........76............98............. 5000 rpm
mph 19..........32............48.........61............78............. 4000 rpm
mph 14..........24............36.........46............59............. 3000 rpm
mph 9............16............24.........30............39............. 2000 rpm
mph 5............8..............12.........15............20............. 1000 rpm

see what you get???? post it up to see different tire diameter, trans, & rear diff ratios
