Pretty sure Coyotes have the same transmission ratio's. 7th is 1:1 in all 10 speeds. I do believe HC's and Coyotes run steeper rear gears.

Yeah exactly. The coyote runs a 3.15 or 3.55. Compared to our 2.62. It really hurts on the top end. Hellcats are 3.09 or 2.62 but they are 8speeds.

While we're on the subject, was it ever determined if the gear is welded onto the diff body?

I would love to go 4.10 or 4.11 in my 6spd. That's perfect for the track!

Traction sucks in an A10 from the factory, and a 3.73 would make it even worse. Obviously, top speed would go down too. Has this thread changed to a stick thread?

ZL1 A10 has a 2.85. I don't believe gearing is the issue.
