alright guys, i have a serious question that i've asked several people and nobody can give me a straight answer.

my question is this...does the gearing affect torque on a dyno?

what i mean by this is, i just put a transmission in my car with 4.785 final drive vs 4.40 final drive. obviously my car accelerates better and pulls harder through the gears because the motor has a better advantage.

now it seems like this would also increase the overall torque output of my car. i liken torque to twisting power, hypothetically speaking, if you could put a car on jackstands and hold the wheels from turning, the car with the shorter final drive would be able to twist and turn better which is torque, isn't it?

anyway, just wanted to see what you guys had to say, as i know a lot of you have installed 410 gears into your mustangs and have probably put your car ona dyno before and after this...

if anyone could explain this to me, i'd appreciate it...and if i'm wrong, please correct me.

thanks, chet.
