No idiocy at all in that question. (Remember, the idiot's the one who doesn't ask.) The first number is the number of times the input shaft rotates. The second is always 1, which is the number of times the output shaft(s) rotate(s). Now, the more times the input shaft turns relative to the output shaft, the greater the mechanical advantage, and the more power you seem to have.SCownerIL said:Not to sound like a complete idiot (which won't be avoided here), what do the gear ratios stand for? Just wondered what the magic behind the numbers was.

flushed all fluids
plugs and wires
resonator
mufflers
intercooler fan
5% pulley
Then went to the drag strip on a cold and windy 47 degree day.

Ouch! Freak? Maybe special or out of the ordinary.David Neibert said:Your car is a factory freak...hang onto it. Most SCs would be lucky to run 15.0 @ 90 with those mods.

3.77's, 95 ported blower and inlet, nitrous and I will be nipping at your heals.
