<div>(Adding the list back in because I am pretty sure Cliff wanted it that way)</div>

</div>
<div>The other thing to remember is that even the “wide” ratio Toploader, with its 2.78 first, is closer in ratios from first to fourth than the Z spec T5 (with a 2.95 first). A light(er) car like the Tiger can generally get away with a closer set of ratios
without making it unduly hard to drive.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Jim, I have changed my close ratio gears to wide ratio on my MK I. I did this because with the high rear end ratio, the wide ratio gears are more responsive for street driving. Theo gives some good information and there is a lot of info to
describe the differences and uses. My dilemma was (is) whether to stick with the 4 speed or go with a five speed. At this point I am sticking with the 4 speed and wide ratio gears. Good luck with your build. Cliff</div>

<div>There are two “standard” ratio sets, close and wide, as listed at David Kee’s site: <a href="http://www.davidkeetoploaders.com/torqueandgear.htm" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr>davidkeetoploaders.com/<wbr>torqueandgear.htm</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There were also many extra close ratios, mainly used in road race applications. I would expect that these are going to be very expensive to get, and not really of any improved purpose for your application. They’re listed here: <a href="http://www.4speedtoploaders.com/new/white_stripe_toploaders.htm" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr>4speedtoploaders.com/new/<wbr>white_stripe_toploaders.htm</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have already decided you want the “wide” gears then there’s not much else to discuss. The only thing I would recommend is you get a new light(er) weight flywheel. DavidKee has the 24 pound, 157 tooth steel flywheel as well as a 13 pound 157 tooth
flywheel listed. A billet steel or aluminum flywheel is a substantial safety improvement over an original cast iron flywheel and the reduced inertia will improve how your car leaves traffic lights without making it unnecessarily hard to drive.</div>

<div>What are the ideal ratios that I should be looking for with a stock ratio rear end?</div>
