[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 4565787, member: 15703"] You never lose power. Gears do nothing to make the engine lose power, or change it's power production characteristics. When you go to a lower final drive the only thing you lose is potential speed. However, in most cases you actually gain top-end because the 5th gear becomes useable. With a lower (higher numerical) gear you will in fact accelerate quicker in every gear at every rpm because the load on the engine is reduced. The difference will depend on how much of a gearing difference you end up with. Also, because it's a ratio, the faster you go, the more inaccurate it will become. Going to a 4.10 from a 3.55 I would guess that at 75 mph you'll be close to if not more than 10 mph off. [/QUOTE]
