Gearing and Clutch Question
#2
NO! To "hold" the weight of the car, the gears will not make the clutch work any harder than stock. To "motivate" the weight of the car, the clutch will be less stressed due to the mechanical advantage involved.

The amount of force applied to the clutch has nothing to do with the final drive. Although, the lower gearing will allow you to engage the clutch with less feathering, which will increase the life of the clutch disk.

Would you need a stronger clutch if you went with the 4.44 gears?

I have a couple other gearing related questions that I thought I would add to this thread.
1) With a FI S2k using the AEM EMS to tune, if I added the 4.44 gears and the yellow box would I need to retune the EMS?
2) Would 4.44 gears affect the spooling of the turbo? If I am fully spooled at 3.8k rpm's now would the 4.44's make the turbo spool faster or would the turbo spool the same and only the mph change?
Again pardon my ignorance but I need to educate myself before making a big mistake.
