Help with super T 10 ratos

[intocarss]

I found a good deal on a Super T 10 and everything to install it into my car

The trans is supposed to be a 1979 Corvette Borg warner super T 10. and that will have the ratio of 2.64-to-1, 2.1-to-1, 1.6-to-1 and 1.00-to-1 OR 2.88-to-1, 1.74-to-1, 1.33-to-1 and 1.00-to-1

What is the best ratio for all around driving on streets and road course suchs as WillowSprings and ButtonWillow? I know things very, Just want to see if this trans is close or even If this set up will be good for what I want

I haven't picked a rearend ratio yet any help with both would be great Thanks


Super T-10 transmission had varying gear ratios. From 1974 until 1977, the transmission ratio was 2.43-to-1 for first gear, 1.61-to-1 for second gear, 1.23-to-1 for third gear and 1.00-to-1 for fourth gear. Some transmissions used similar gear ratios of 2.43-to-1, 1.76-to-1, 1.47-to-1 and 1.00-to-1.

Borg-Warner continued to increase the gear ratio of the transmission throughout its production life. From 1977 until 1979, the transmission used gear ratios of 2.64-to-1, 2.1-to-1, 1.6-to-1 and 1.00-to-1.

During this time, Borg-Warner also released a transmission with ratios of 2.64-to-1, 1.75-to-1, 1.33-to-1 and 1.00-to-1.

From 1979 until 1981, the transmission was modified to use 2.88-to-1, 1.74-to-1, 1.33-to-1 and 1.00-to-1 gear ratios.

Finally, from 1980 until 1982, the transmission was available with gear ratios of 3.44-to-1, 2.28-to-1, 1.46-to-1 and 1.00-to-1.

IMO this is the best road course "close ratio" gear setup of all that you mentioned.

have you considered an M-21? Good road course gears splits.

Yes I have, but the Muncies are $$$. IMOHO for the same price I might as well get a tremec 600 or a T56

Like I stated I can get a Borg Warner Super T10. with a 3 1/2 drive shaft, yoke, bell housing, clutch, pressure plate, Hurst comp shifter, flywheel etc all out of a 67 Camaro for under a grand.

I found out it's the 3.44-to-1, 2.28-to-1, 1.46-to-1 and 1.00-to-1. ratio, which isn't bad for the street as I can put a 3.23 or 3.42 or even a 3.08 rear gear and it will be nicer on the highway This car will see more street time then track time for now.

turns out this T10 is the 2.88-to-1, 1.74-to-1, 1.33-to-1 and 1.00-to-1
