4k pkg gear ratio

[Hunters Edge]

I thought this video helps to explain what you gain with the optional gear ratio. So I thought it worthy of posting.

I perceive that you get 5% more torque at the wheels due to the ratio change.

This guy has a great future selling miracle medicines on late night tv.

That's impressive without going to a larger displacement engine. Also with the torque converter your adding as much as 10%, I'll take it.

3.81/3.63=1.05. 5% more torque. No further explanation needed. The guy in the video:

Or maybe it won't show up because it's a weird face book video. Sorry.
It's a old video explaining differential actions.

Great bit

Great video. Brilliant!

And then of course, when I move to 245/60 R18 tires in a few months, I'll erase that torque advantage...

But the calculation assumes two things. First you must be at 3,000 RPM and second, you must be in eighth gear. What does this translate into velocity?

No I believe low or 1st gear. As you increase speed the torque converter is close to one to one, compared to 2.5 times.. The 235 ft lbs of torque I believe is across the board but is not as noticeable in higher gears. Basically consider it pulling power to get into motion. Once anything is rolling it takes less inertia to keep it going. Of course this does not take in hills or more importantly drive line shock.

Actually 3000rpm to hit max torque is low in comparison to many other engines. I think this is helpful when needing max torque in low gear for pulling or off road.

No. In 8th gear, the extra torque is only 31 ft-lb. It is not less noticeable, it's just less.

Might be I'm not going to debate or argue over it. I just repeated what the video said or stated. If you have an issue take it up with the guy in the video.

Another factor to consider. Isn't this 2.0L the same as the Escape 2.0L with the twin scroll turbocharger? That engine did have some great low end power but is /was rated with slightly less HP than the Mav.
