I put 75/140 in it, no difference. One of my biggest mistakes was buying this, but I now have the fix - a brand new, genuine Ford CWP.


What ratio?

The Ford CWP is 3:55. The NTG is 3.4, so my revs will go up a bit, but my aggro will go down.

I wonder if the 3.1:1 is quieter? I haven't heard a terrible review like yours.... But there is basically no info.

Is the 3.54 from Burton a goody? https://www.burtonpower.com/crown-wheel ... cwe35.html

You live in the mountains Brock, you can probably pop it out of gear
Born, and brought home from the hospital (no seat belt (wtf)) in a baby!
Find out where the limits are, and start from there

Interestingly, I contacted NTG a few days ago and I haven't heard back. I wonder if they have given up?
