As an example we&#8217;ll use the TH400 or 4L80E trans chart with a Vortec 7.4 (454).  Gears are multipliers of torque so at 3,000 rpm in 2nd-over the torque multiplier is 4.73 where without the <b>GEAR VENDORS<\/b> you would get into 2500rpm in 3rd-direct at 4.10. The difference in engine torque is only 10lbs ft. but the difference in the multiplier 4.73 vs 4.10. That&#8217;s over 18% more working torque.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">At this same moment horsepower at 3,000rpm is 260 instead of 210 @ 2500 which is over 23% more horsepower with all the reliability of your stock powerplant. To figure the drop in rpm or torque multiplier from on gear to the next calculate as follows: Final Drive Ratio of the gear you are shifting to, divided by the gear you are shifting from, minus 1, times 100. The difference from 1st-over to 2nd is even more dramatic. This is why if you are towing or loaded heavily, the best way to reliably improve performance is with the <b>GEAR VENDORS UNDER\/OVERDRIVE&trade;<\/b>.It&#8217;s the same reason the big 18 wheelers have 2 and 3 speed auxiliaries for 10 to 15 or more gears.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Click on graphs to enlarge.<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"25\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" width=\"90%\" class=\"large\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"JavaScript:newPopup(&#039;http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gm57los.gif&#039;)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"158\" width=\"140\" alt=\"GM 5.7L (LOS)\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/gm57lossm.gif\"><\/a><br \/>\n            GM 5.7L (LOS)<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"JavaScript:newPopup(&#039;http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gm6.gif&#039;)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"158\" width=\"140\" alt=\"GM 6.2 V-8 Diesel (LH6)\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gm6sm.gif\"><\/a><br \/>\n            GM 6.2 V-8 (Diesel (LH6)<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"JavaScript:newPopup(&#039;http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gm65.gif&#039;)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"158\" width=\"140\" alt=\"GM 6.5 V-8 Diesel (L65)\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gm65sm.gif\"><\/a><br \/>\n            GM 6.5 V-8 Diesel (L65)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"JavaScript:newPopup(&#039;http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gm74.gif&#039;)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"158\" width=\"140\" alt=\"GM 7.4L (L19)\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gm74sm.gif\"><\/a><br \/>\n            GM 7.4L (L19)<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"JavaScript:newPopup(&#039;http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gmv57.gif&#039;)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"158\" width=\"140\" alt=\"GM 5.7L Vortec (L31)\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gmv57sm.gif\"><\/a><br \/>\n            GM 5.7L Vortec (L31)<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><a href=\"JavaScript:newPopup(&#039;http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gmvl29.gif&#039;)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"158\" width=\"140\" alt=\"GM 7.4L Vortec (L29)\" src=\"http:\/\/gearvendors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/gmvl29sm.gif\"><\/a><br \/>\n            GM 7.4L Vortec (L29)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GM\/CHEVROLET HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE CURVES If you study the performance curves below you will see two major benefits of GearSplitting.
