Use whatever rear end you have, select pulleys to get the overall rpm you need for the generator at the average speed you will be traveling.
Since RPM for a generator is relatively high I would think the highest gear (lowest ratio) would be the most desirable, less pulley work to do. there was a 3.08 codes 82 (7.5) and 92 (8.8), code 84 was a 3.45 and code 85 was a 3.55 both 7.5. I feel open would work better than LS for this particular application.
My thoughts too.. Im just wondering what affects what and how. I had the old 3.08 gear 8.8 which would have worked despite my preference for a 7.5.. But I gave it to Tyler over on FRF a couple years ago when I swapped out to the 3.73 LS.
There has to be a way to calculate RPM from the Differential input side with the gearing combination. Obviously if I spin it faster it will charge at a better rate than slower in the sense of time. And I guess pulley size can match or alter but that baseline is what I am after or need. I have time but in the grand scheme of things, it can or could alter some electrical thoughts of wiring, gauge, ect...
