So the lower numerically your gear ratio is the higher your cruising RPMs will be? I put a 50 series tire on my bird and now my cruising RPMs are higher.

A lower gear (higher numerically) increases the engine rpm at whatever speed. If you have reduced tire height, then you effectively are running lower, shorter, or higher numerically gears... pick which ever term you like best.Matt<br />2000 Firebird<br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/index.php?\" target=\"_blank\">FullThrottleV6.com</a>Comment
