95 GTP sounds cammed

[94GPGTP]

what if the tranny was replaced with a non LQ1 Tranny? has a different gear ratio therefor its torquey..

[01GPGT]

havn't thought of that. but if th gear ratio eas changed then the car would have to be tuned for it, and since every thing is good it eathe has or it still has the stock ratio

[robertisaar]

depending on how much... 3.1/3100s usually got 3.33 finals while all 3.4s came with 3.43s... and you can only get so high. 3.73 is the max i believe...

thats less than a 9% difference, might not be enough to trigger codes or require a tune...

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

the 3.33 would be lower gearing right? this sounds like fun to me... i think mines a little too high anyhow.

[robertisaar]

numerically lower. meaning lower cruising RPMs and a theoretically higher top speed at the expense of a little acceleration(assuming traction remained equal)

but being such a small difference, you might never notice it...

going to a 2.84(?) or 3.73 setup would be QUITE different though...

EDIT: the tallest gear i could find (stock) in a 4t60e is a 2.73.... used in certain 4.9 caddys

[01GPGT]

i remember when i put in 3.73 gears to replace the 2.2x high way gasmizer gears in my 82 GP, holey crap did that make the car feel fast

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

Feel fast. lol like those imports that need to shift into 2nd gear at 30kmh cuz theyre redlined. hahahaha

[01GPGT]

the diffrence was the '82 was fast lol had a solid lifter small block oldsmobile 350 under the hood from a 69 cutless it dynoed 298 rwhp and 320ft-lbs rwtq. the 2.2x just bogged the car so mutch.
