Hey so I roll race my speedtech single turbo dct 335is with borgs364 and I’m looking I’m looking to get an lsd. What gearing should I go with? Start speed at the roll race is about 60-65mph and is a 1/3 mile run. I’m trying to trap a high mph.

What speed to you cross the line at? There are lots of gearing calcs to see what would work. I think one size down from the 2.56 would be 2.81 or 3.08

Around 140-145mph. I can get a deal on the 3.08. Think that’s help?

Your gonna lower you mph going higher in gearing , you already have a good mph gear ratio at 2.56
Just started doing more research and my goal is to hit atleast 150mph. Looks like the cheapest way to accomplish that is going to a 27” tire. Now has anyone run a 275/45/18 on the rear of an e92?

Thought when you tried fooling with ratios of the DCT it freaked out because the shift points weren't correct? (MPH v RPM)

Wierd im almost positive there's an option in xhp to customize rear gear ratios , I had a customer pull it up once and he was like damn I wish I woulda went 3.08 or something so he could get out the hole better for drag racing

I think I found the confusion.
The Auto's 6/8 don't have an option to change rear gear (I'm auto and want something else). That must be where they got confused.

And I wonder why the auto's can't change rear gear?

Probably because it doesn't make a big deal to the auto trans if you don't report the gear ratio for the dct it must be more finicky
