My gears seem extremely long and they really seem to be making my car seem a little sluggish. I think I either have 2.73's or 3.08's? At about 107MPH I was at 5k in 3rd gear...I'm thinkin their 2.73??

What kind of 1/4 mile improvement should I see with 3.55's or 3.73's? Current one is 12.7@107. Will low 12's be easily attainable? I'm leaning towards the 3.55's because I'm planning a turbo setup in the near future. Heres the current setup:
90 GT 5spd 98K miles, powerdyne s/c w/ 9lb pulley(no boost gauge) 30lb injectors, 75mm maf, 190lph pump, bassani longtube with 3" bassani x pipe, and flowmaster 40 series mufflers with stock catback piping running on 10" m't slicks without a tune

What are you turning at 70 in 5th? 1750 rpms is 2.73's, 2000 is 3.27's so forth...

With stock tire size (25.7") at 107 mph in 3rd gear at 5000 rpm you would have 2.73s.
