    Default 3.46:1 gears

    Anyone running 3.46:1 gears with a auto in there Gen111, if so want RPM are you doing at 100kph?

    I am thinking of changing from 3.07:1 to 3.46:1.

    Cheers
    In the beginning God took 5 day to create Holden, on the 6th day he created HSV and the 7th day he refined his work to create the R8 Clubsport.

    mate easy to work out

    std 100kmph rpm / std ratio = A * new ratio = result

    doesn't HSV use 3.7:1 in all except the GTS which has 3.9:1 don't know why oyu would wanna go back to 3.46:1 especially if it's the 6 spd as then you wouldn't really be able to use the 6th gear as you wouldn't be pulling enough revs at 100km/h
