You want to achieve your final RPM going through the lights with a given tire size and if they are pretty tall and the final RPM is pretty high and so on, then 6.14's might be needed, but that is pretty low. I usually end-up installing anything from 4.71's to 5.36's in cars we build depending on what tire size the car has and what the final RPM is going to be going through the lights. Another good application for gears like that are trucks with really large diameter mud tires. Just remember, the larger you go in tire size, (diameter), the taller it makes your gears, so you need to compensate for it.<br /><a href="http://www.BadAssCars.com" target="_blank">www.BadAssCars.com</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
