The internal gear ratio is 2.5 to 1. Thats not counting your spur/pinion combo. I believe the drilled holes that people are complain about in the sides not being drilled in the center of the aluminum plate are that way to level out the tranny when installed in the savage. If you look at the mounting holes in a stock savage TVP plate they are not in line up and down when the savage is at rest. Water jet will leave that type of finish on the edge, its still CNC controlled, its just not a "milled" edge. Setscrew in the gears dont bother me, remember we all use setscrews to hold our pinions on our motors, as well as the drive cups for diff pinions. If you want to add a little bit of safety to it drill a small hole (not thru, spot face) in the shaft so the setscrew can "seat" there.
