I dont know where to post this but gear ratio and performance come pretty close together. I wanted to know how the gear ratio language works. I see
1st gear- 1.235
2nd gear- 1.034
ect....

what do these numbers mean.. what is that tryin to tell you?

Here's a generic explanation. Say your first gear is 4:1 ratio. This means your flywheel will spin four times to make the driveline spin once. Then you shift into second gear which is say a 3:1 ratio, the flywheel then only has the spin three times, etc. You get the picture. Dont confuse this with final ratio... google it.
