Older than dirt
Full tube buggy. LS/350/203/205 with GM 60/14b combo. Running both 43 SX stickies and reds. Currently 5.13 ratio.
The old story - a low pinion is not as strong as a hi pinion. I know it, understand it but I have never been able to find an actual percentage difference. I have a buddy who thinks the low pinion is 30% weaker. Has anyone ever found an actual number. AGAIN - I understand the "why". I'm just looking for the difference. Lots of searching without a definitive answer. (feel free to flame me if you can show me how poor my search skills are)
Next up, 5.13 was the lowest gearset available for a long time for the 14 bolt, now 5.38 is available. So back to the front LP60, going to 5.38 would be weaker. My gut feeling is this is not a wise move.
So, I am looking for success / failure stories about running this big of a tire on the LP and any experience with going to the deeper ratio.
