John, I'm not sure how the ratio's compare 1st - 3rd but 4th in both gear
seat will be 1-1. I'm assuming you too run a stock crank.
I've kept my rev limit to 6K because of the second harmonic I've heard about
which begins just over 6K.
I've had it to 7K, once and it was accidentally. I was in such dense traffic
I couldn't hear my own car and passing two at once.
Do you run a special crank damper?

Jim: We use a TR close ratio gear set, A OD & a 4.5 rear and reach 6500 at
end of long straights like VIR Rd.Atl etc. I wonder what the Bastuck
rations are?

I should probably clarify a bit. I just purchased a dog box, it's on the way
to Colorado. I still use a stock crank so my rev limit is 6 - 6200 RPM.
In Colorado I use the OD on the longer straights, my final drive is 4:10 .
If I go back to a 4 speed I'll run out of rev's and If I go to 3:70's I
expect to lose some time getting off the corners. I may just have to wait
until I get the Moldex crank sometime in the future so I can increase my rev
limit.

Dear all,
I have 2 dog boxes for my Sebring TR4 with the gear sets supplied by
Bastuck; I can confirm that they are way better than the Quaife gear sets
that I run in my 2 dog boxes that I have for my TR6.
Try, you will not be disappointed.
