Ok somebody explain to me why with having a longer distance to run at
Bonneville using a close ratio transmission is better. I realize that you
might experience to low a drop in rpm in the gear changes using a wide
ratio. Is this the reason why or is it something else. I would have thought
the 6 speed would be a good choice for the salt given the ability to space
the ratios over 5 speeds and using 6th for overdrive. If close ratios are
what are needed why not the something similar to the old style Doug Nash
tranny with 5th being 1:1 and no overdrive. If horsepower lose is the deal,
I don't think that matters to a few as already stated over the past few
weeks. It seems to be no problem building the power it is getting the
traction to use it.
