I have been rather curious lately at the wheel torque of a built Toyota with Low gears,I have done equations for this kinda stuff and it doesn't calculate up right. My Question is, Given: 85' 22R with 129 Ft.-Lbs or torque,G52 Transmission with a 1st gear ratio of 3.928:1Low Range with 4.70:1 Crawl box with 2.28:1 Diff Ratio of 5.29:1 33 inch tires Does anyone know how to calculate the wheel torque given these numbers? If I am right,wouldn't these gears give you torque greater than that of a 350 Chevy to the wheels?
I would say the loss is in traction on the ground. Your traction sheers long before you can bind up that much torque. It would be interesting to sacrifice some parts with the axles mounted firmly to flanges sunk in concrete and see what gives first.
