Boss 302 gearing ?

[Gstick]

I realize that the 2012/2013 Boss 302 with Torsen Helical differential comes with 3.73 gears, but what is the gear ratio on the Boss 302 WITHOUT the Torsen Helical differential option ?

I have a chance to buy a 2013 NON Torsen Boss, which will be just a weekend car cruiser from May- Oct. (stored in a heated garage for winter)

I have zero plans on Road racing this car.

Thanks, G

Same ratio from what I know. 5th gear is 1:1 and tops put over 7500 around 155 mph

They all have 3.73's... I hope you love shifting.

Thank You for confirming this.

I'm not sure what you mean by, "I hope you love shifting."

Try it with 25.5" tall tires. 45 in second is 5,500.

Yeah I put it in fifth at 25mph in the neighborhood to keep the noise down I think that puts me around 1300rpm or around that.

Op the gears are very short you can leave a stop light in second gear haha I do it all the time because first is so short. Short gears = shifting ALOT, that's what I mean.

 

[Gstick]

I understand what you mean now.

Yeah it's only really been a hassle when you're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic other than that it's nice having gearing short enough to basically use three gears,

Try putting 275/35/18 track tires on if you love shifting LOL!
