stats for geared cars.
just wondering if anyone has power and torque results for cars with 4.57 gears? i always wondered does having gears increase torque? side by side race with a stock it pulls so much stronger.

Hmm seems your going for the same as me mate, maybe these americans can help us?.
I also wondered is a geared S2000 with 4.57 quicker from say 30-100mph onwards than stock?
cheers

@ admanirv123 mine are installed and they work brilliant. i do think its faster from 30 to 100. i just dont understand how it can be so much faster without the torque changing?

Take the time to do a little analysis and you will see the answers. Torque is multiplied by the gear ratios and shifting into the next higher gear lowers output. Thrust and acceleration discussions put the whole topic into perspective.

You go faster because you get your torque sooner. Getting gears makes your car feel like it has more torque. I have 4.77 gears and when I redline shift into 2nd gear, it's like I have a huge V6 motor under the hood.
For example, my gearing is 16% shorter than stock, so every gear will wind out 16% faster. I get to VTEC 16% sooner and feel my horsepower and torque 16% quicker.
4.57 gears are 11% increase, and 4.44 are about an 8% increase.
