It prob be easier to just swap diffs than the gears alone. plus 4.77 could be for racing, and stock for street use... If i had money id be on this.

I think that may be for just the ring and pinion?

hmm. interested. i got a quote to put it in. mazda says 6.5 hours, but it won't take that long. i figure i can get it put in for around 350.

what sort of gains should i expect?

Youre not going to gain anything. The car will rev up faster in gear so your top mph for each gear will be lower but it will get you up and moving faster.

Yes, there will be no power gain. You will just have a little faster 0 to 60 time.

+1 no HP gain if thats what you're asking, its all about the gearing of your car. this would be an awesome upgrade.. so tempted....

that counts as a gain. i wasn't thinking hp gains. i meant what exactly was the overall benefit. and this was answered nicely. i had sort of a vague idea about why this would be good. now I know exactly why. so thanks.

and i'm still interested in this.

On a stock tire RX-8, the difference at the top of 2nd gear at 9k rpm is 68.84 mph versus 64.07 mph with the 4.77 gearing.

Mechanical leverage (torque) goes up by a little over 100 ft/lbs at the rear tires.

Yes, I am **** enough to have built an entire spread sheet which calculates this, taking into account everything down to exact tire circumference.

Rpm calculator doesn't account for tire size does it? Or calculate ft/lbs of torque in each gear?
