Re: Granny geared 71' K10, I need to go faster...

is me . . . I mixed info I guess.

he needs to pull a cover and find out what he has and we can help 10x better there.

just for kicks tho .

3.08
31" tire @ 70
no o/d = 2337 rpm
o/d swap = 1753 rpm
33" no o/d = 2195 rpm
33" o/d = 1646 rpm

3.42
31" tire @ 70
no o/d = 2595 rpm
o/d swap = 1946 rpm
33" no o/d = 2438 rpm
33" o/d = 1828

3.73
31" tire @ 70
no o/d = 2830 rpm
o/d swap = 2122 rpm
33" no o/d = 2658 rpm
33" o/d = 1994 rpm


keep in mind were is your power curve on your engine . to low a rpm can hurt as the motor dosnt work as easy as in the sweet spot.

and if you don't have a tach get one . you will be surprised what rpm you are turning to what you think you are . . . sounds are miss leading in this department and worse with non stock style muffler.
