Re: Gearboxes!

Hi list,
Martin and others, can you tell me if modifying the final drive ratio 
(see Martins post below) would be only good for a low powered 
DeLorean, i.e. stock engine, or would there also be benefits for the 
DMC Hi-Po engine upgrade? Maybe the stock final drive suits the car 
better when it has more BHP? Are you going to do this modification to 
your DeLorean Martin? If it would allow the car to accelarate faster, 
would it lose some top speed?

Thanks,
John.
PS Martin, Congratulations on buying your DeLorean!
