...faster plz plz plz.? i love this little car i asked a couple other questions about it i really want to get sum answers on this. my dodge shadow has a 5 speed tranny in it now.these are the ratios for each gear.
1st...3.29
2nd...2.08
3rd...1.45
4th...1.04
5th...0.72
im just wondering if their is a tranny out their that will mount up to this engine that is possibly a 6 speed or that has a smaller ratio so im not screaming down the highway in 5th gear. it accelerates fine. but with this ratio at about 65mph its at about 3000 to 3500 rpms i really dont know how accurate the tach is. but it is reving pretty high i can hear it. and the temp gets pretty high to from that constant RPMs but its not scary hot. just wondering if this is normal. or if someone could give me a ratio that could fix this and can i get new gears put in it and if i do that around how much would it cost and if im splitting the tranny any other advice for what i can do to make it accelerate faster. this is just an idea. im not really serious about doing it. but if someone throws a good idea my way i might consider it. i just read alot of info on this car and it pretty rare to get one with a 5speed and its also very quick ive read alot on the internet about these cars blowin mustangs doors off and what have you. but she aint running like she use to. o yeah and is their a performance chip that can be bought for this car. and if my rev limiter is at 5500 how can i change that. cause it sounds horrible at about 4000 to 5000 rpms. it sounds like its spitting. like air or something idk. fans of this car or the 3.0 engine plz throw whatever you got at me.
