Does anyone know the wheel power for a standard 2 drs JK with 6 speed?
What if I change the gears to 4.56 or 4.88 & keep the O.E 32" tires, whats the possible gains at the wheels?

hey there,, i dont know if the dyno will actually show any numbers, but yes you will accelarate faster with each gear being a bit shorter, i think its more fun to drive that way but im sure some people will disagree...

Yeah, as stated above, you won't gain any power with a gear change. You will accelerate faster, but not because of more power.

Maybe 4.56 is too much for standard tires too, I think we should've gone for 4.10 What do u think?
