I figured my car (Marc's chip, open exhaust) with stock gears was getting roughly 340 lb/ft of torque to the rear wheels at peak. Multiply that 1.18 and I'm over 400 lb/ft at peak. On paper, that is a DRASTIC difference in twist and I expected a big SOTP effect that I did not realize.

I understand the expectation given all the talk. But for those that do not understand the physics/math I thought a good time to confuse them more
Like LGAFF suggests.....if you want real seat of the pants feel of accomplishment.....ADD HORSEPOWER which is pretty easy on the LT5 
The 410s do let you get 6th gear into play more often.
