i dont think "effective gear ratio" has anything to do with it. if the tranny gear and axle gear is how you get "egr" and the higher the better. than a 5ltr mustang with a 3:73 rear end and a 3:35 first gear would have lower "egr" than a tour. i know first hand a lighter flywheel on an 11 sec mustang helps. on my car it gave me .10 of sec and 1 mph.
why i think my tour didnt go any faster is because of the cam profiles, the secondaries (3800rpm), lack of torque, and crappy 60fts.
