- Say John, speaking of four speeds -Why? Aren't you fully wound out long before you reach the clocks? I just ran across a 3spd overdrive for a flathead. Is that something I should consider? -- John Be

- OK Dick, Now that you've asked. I've set records with 2-speeds, 3-speeds and 4-speeds. There are lots of factors that effect your transmission choice. Length of course, engine HP and internal HP loss

- Dick, I don't know how many guys are familiar with the BW overdrive so I'll answer your question as they are comman in the studebakers I collect. It will over drive youabout 29% and will handle maybe

- I want to Run a 6 speed because I can first off..... and the opportunity to get the motor to Max Rpm quicker... oh and I conned my way into it... let's not forget the fun factor here with the 6sp...

- Well, dispite what I just said about the Camaro 4 spd, in view of what your saying, maybe I'll just stick with the old top shifter truck 3 speed. My guess is that my flatty will be fully wound out, e

- One of the advantages of using a Richmond is they can provide you with a bazillion (more or less) ratios, allowing you to fine tune it to your RPM range. I am running a ZF, which means I am stuck wi

- I have never run anything but a 2-speed Powerglide in recent years. At Bonneville it works fine, but at the Lakes another gear or two would certainly be helpful when running gasoline. I'm not sure o

- Hey John, How about sharing some ideas on four speeds and the best gearing for them to run at the salt. I run one but need some education on better gear combinations to max my little hot rod, thanks,
