3.6 with cr box anyone.

[bananaface]

i no this has been done to death, but im yet to find feedback on this combo

i run a 3.6 rr, with 3.73 diff and std box.

im considering a cr box conversion.

does anyone have that formula on a 3.6 ? and if so how is it... nuts ?.. pretty good ? not worth it ? what ?

I have run a 3.6 with CR box - but with a standard ratio diff. I have bought a 3.73 hydratrack diff and intend to have the CR gears to go with it.

The last time I drove my Tam with the CR box was seven years' ago, so memory is a little hazy - but I can tell you that I preferred it over the standard and never once felt the 3.6 'struggle' with the longer gears (I know some will tell you that it does)

When I have mine done, I will be in a better position to comment further....

hi chris

you were the only person i found on other posts to ask this question of and i did mail you but to no avail.

thanks for the feedback, as i understand it the 3.6 is more leggy anyway, less torquey but more leggy. it makes more sense to me but hence the post... i am a mechanical dufus and as such what makes sense to me isnt necessarily actual sense.

Oh, I don't seem to have got that mail, otherwise I would have responded

Yes - I do like the more revvy nature of the engine and have never minded or had a problem with revving to the limit to get the most out of the engine. If I had any negative thoughts towards the CR box, I most certainly would have remembered, but the fact that I now want another on my second Tamora proves that it worked, at least for me.
