Default Hmmm.....

Ummm, with no overdrive pulleys installed, I believe when the rear tires get smaller than the front, the front end will be pulling the car and you'll be in overdrive mode because of the tire diameter difference. In that instance, the car will not push at the corners.

The reason being is that the tire rollout for the front end will be more than the rear end as the tire rollout depends on the tire diameter i.e. larger diameter, bigger tire rollout.

The front and rear wheels will have the same rotational speed (physics and engineering background people will denote this withthe greek word omega). Just that the rollout of the tires will be different.
Now I thought that with no overdrive, there could be a situation where you begin to lose rear traction due to the fact that the rear tires are rotating faster? Or is that more traction as the rear tires get smaller? Hmmm....I think I may be confusing my current setup with my old one which was with the 100,000 diff oil.
