well your caprice doesnt have a 10 speed. its a 4 speed overdrive. you good with the 3.73s or even 4.10s if you have bigger rims on it. you'll cruise just fine with OD on the freeway. you just dont wanna lug it down to low because it could be out of the engines power range
Thank you for the good advice had I not know would have made the same mistake I also really like your program and carmodification and upgrades the right way.
great video. shorter rear gears is not always the answer! now if you install a turbo. a higher rear gear could probably work better and you can cruise high ways better!
Could use a bit of advice guys. I have a 1988 Caprice police car with a “stock” 05’ LQ4 LS and 4L65E swapped in. I am building this car for sale and I need to know the best gear ratio to go with. If I do install a cam it will be the only upgrade other than the intake. Howard’s Rattler Howards “Rattler” (Duration 275/282, Lift .525/.525) Lifters, pushrods, and trunnion upgrade is a given. All input is very well appreciated!
With a 8 speed transmission you can go with 4.11s and still do 130 on the freeway I got 4.11s in my donk with a 4l80e I do 80 mph at 2500 rpm which is not bad
Man, this video is great, thanks for sharing this knowledge with us, i am trying to better understand how gear ratio affect performance on a car, not only final drive, but individual gears spacing too, and this video helped a lot, great to know about the computer controlled transmissions as well.
Keep bringing and passing on the knowledge VTSV🤝
Bro, you really just opened my eyes for my '91 caprice. Now im rethinking my 3.73 gears

Glad it was helpful! Ratios can get confusing fast!
I have 08 crown vic police with 3:27 lsd gear ratio and the 4 speed trans auto. Can i upgrade to 3:73 or 4:10 i want more off the line power?
great video. shorter rear gears is not always the answer! now if you install a turbo. a higher rear gear could probably work better and you can cruise high ways better!
Keep up the good work
Good video!!
So who should i contact to help with my ratio?
Got a 86 MC SS, 6.0 Gen 4 with a Howard’s rattler cam, ls3 heads, (pending 4l80e) on 18s 275/40/18 rear

The largest wheels would be 26” Rucci and smallest wheels would be 15” TWW G12’s
My antique 4cyl cj5 got the jump on a Vette at the light. 5.38's
454 with TH400 with .78 OD unit and 4.10 equipped Dana 70HD for me. Considering switching to a 4.56. 😉
Good info

8spd And 4l80e totally different. You can use it but old gearing thinking is different with the 6 spd and up trans
Man good knowledge.
Good info. Nice cars.
Great advice!
