  List, I know this subject has been hashed over but I need to get this
right. Does the gear ratio affect how much torque the rear wheels see or
does it merely change at what speed the torque is usable at? In other words
are the gears acting as a torque multiplier. Do gear changes affect the
readings that would come from a chassis dyno? I need to know this so I make
the right changes to my differential so I can help my big block run over
6000rpm at Maxton and then at Bonneville (hopefully next year).
