Thank you, though this one has been around for a while so I can’t take credit for it. I made the video because I didn’t think the other videos I saw for it explained the difference between the open and limited slip diffs in the test. So I was just trying to get more complete information to people so they don’t have to piece it together.
It wouldn’t work for this test anyway because the driveshaft wouldn’t spin, so you wouldn’t be able to count. My immediate thought is to say with the DS locked neither would spin, but it’s been a minute since I’ve owned an open rear end so now I’m questioning that.
It’s a gear ratio, Archimedes probably had this one worked out more like 2000 years ago lol. It’s more the couple of videos I looked at before I made this one I felt didn’t tell you about the difference between an open rear and limited slip. So really I was just trying to quickly put all the information needed in one place.
@@CatfishMotorsports I did note that too. Stoll good work. We didn't have screwtube 50 years ago. Probably wasn't around 2000 years ago either. You're the first to compile the 411 into a gigitized video.
Does it make a difference if the car came with 14 inch tires and you put 15 inch tires on it the rear end I put in my car is out of a 69 firebird 400 and I have a 78 Pontiac Phoenix kind of like a Nova
No. 360 degrees of rotation is still 360 degrees of rotation. It could have a small effect on your rpm while driving because of tire size differences but not for this test.
