[QUOTE="mudpack, post: 1361758, member: 99293"] I believe, in this case, you are actually increasing the [U][I]torque[/I] at the rear wheel (RW)[/U]. Driveline gearing alters neither engine nor RW horsepower. Torque IS power. Horsepower is simply a calculation...one that indicates how much work an engine can produce in a certain amount of time. Torque is how [U]much[/U] work can be done, horsepower tells us how [U]quickly[/U] that work can be done. Simply put, all else being equal, a larger rear sprocket (or a smaller front) will increase the torque to the RW, while at the same time reducing the rpm of that wheel. Increasing the rear sprocket by 10% will increase the RW torque by 10% and reduce its rotational speed by 10%. The horsepower therefore, by calculation, will remain the same. [/QUOTE]
