Transmisson selection

[Vitmen]

Hello Guys,

Im planing the conversion of my Opel Ascona B and im always wonderring what transmission and differential I should use. When I start calculating the torque, its just seems like too much. Or is it something I shouldnt care so much about, because I wont be driving with the high amount of torque all the time ?

What are your expirence with this topic ?

Best regards

Vitus

original is close to 1:8 total. IF i would be allowed to choose ( lighter car ) i would go slightly lower --> like 1:7 to 1:6.5 --> higher top speed
