Ranger,
Feel free to drop me a line and we can talk. What we did for PJ's car isn't the same approach I would take with your car. The reason for this is he's in the NW where they've got shorter tracks than you've got down in Florida. Your top speed somewhere like Sebring is going to be a good 10-15mph faster than any track PJ ever runs on. And then there's Daytona...

The point is there is definitely not any one size fits all on this sort of thing. PJ's gearing is very specific to PJ's application and needs. It's probably too short for an East Coast car. And there's also budget to consider. PJ went for the full monty with short ring and pinion and custom ratio mainshaft. Most guys don't want to pony up that kind of money and usually end up with something that's a bit more compromised for monetary reasons.

Matt thank you for the response and info. Your right about the tracks and great point. I've emailed with PJ and was really good info.
Homestead is our tightest course and most technical layout even though if we run NASCAR turns 3 & 4 speed do get up there.
Working on some stuff (another car?) but do need to get back to the RS.
Will be discussing this further and with my guys at Champion Motorsport.
Thanks again.

Juan

Hello Juan,

You are quite welcome. Contact me at your convenience. I think the only real downside of living in Florida is that you don't have a winter for a downseason like the rest of us do. Most of our customers rebuild their gearboxes in January. But January in Florida everyone is already out testing and getting their cars ready to go race at the 48 Hours of Sebring the first weekend in February.
