  1. Lock Out/Lock-Up Tuning

    in Drag Forum

    Posted

    I've read through this a couple times and have seen it was mentioned a little. Primary ratio gears. Some said they were confused if the higher or lower gear spun the basket faster or slower. I thought the higher the gear the faster the basket spins.

     

    So if you have an engine with 2.86 gear and have a good baseline setup. Swap it out to a 2.54 or 2.36 or what ever is the next size higher. It would in turn spin the basket faster. 

     

    So wouldnt a higher basket speed speed would need stiffer base pressure so the clutch doesn't slip as much to where you can get enough grip to spin the back tire to then in turn spin the lockup.

     

    If you have a higher primary gear then wouldn't you need less weight as the basket speed is faster yet?
