Sadly, everyone misses the point of the thread. Those that claim the vehicle won't perform with the 2.47..........those that claim that it needs to run at the torque peak...........those that claim the I6 has no torque down low.............
The 300SE drives perfectly fine..........it is not "dog slow". It currently uses gears 2-3-4 with relatively short gearing provided by the 3.46.
I simply want to get to approximately the same final drive ratios using gears 1-2-3 as I currently have with 2-3-4.
I will then use 4 as the "overdrive" for the highway.
It's not rocket science.
