Since the FE motor does have good torque, why not lower the transmission ratios, install low-drag bearings for better efficiency, raise the ring and pinion ratio and go with a tighter convertor? TCI's 2.72:1 planetary gearset for the C6 would give you the same overall ratio in first with a 3.00:1 rear that you'd have with a set of 3.33:1's and a stock C6. Their "High Torque Towing" convertor claims to reduce slippage and heat buildup for lower rpms at highway speeds. If you wanted to go further, build a C4 for even less internal drag, use GER's 2.84:1 planetary gear for an even lower overall ratio (equal to running 3.48:1's) and use the same model convertor from TCI for the C4.
Just my 2 cents. |
