in answer to the eirlier question the higher the ratio IE 3.16 is higher than 3.92 i now that sounds od but it works like this
3.16 turns of the input shaft = 1 turn of the wheels
3.92 turns of the input shaft = 1 turn of the wheels
Thus to conculde
it depends what you want the 3.16 will give you better top end but shower acceleration and the 3.92 will give you better acceleration but will be slightly slower at the top end
Personaly i have a 3.92 since were i live there are mainly windy roads with lots of tight corners and ups and downs so i opted for better acceleration than top speed
its really down to what the car is used for and were it is going to be used, for instance if you were to take it tracking somewere like cadwell you would want the acceleration were as donnington you would want the top speed
hope this helps
have just reilised iv writen an essay
