WOW! 4:30 gears with a 5-speed? That's hardcore. Do you have a 2.95 1st gear?

Hey guys thanks for the useful information.

Wow badlilstang, you have some monsters in your garage. It must take some serious torque to break 3rd gear loose.

Drunkinastang - I know what you're talking about with the clutch. I couldn't even chirp third with my stock clutch. With the King Cobra clutch I am now able to chirp third on the street.

As for the opinions...BOO!! HISS!!

Oh wow you're a shifting madman The stock T5 has a 3.35 1st gear in it. you might look into a 2.95 1st gear when you get your new tranny.

Damn dude, you blew the head gasket after I dared you to see if the tires would spin in third a couple weeks ago. Thats cool you got it running again though. I put a new (bigger) air filter on my car and I finally got my ties to spin in 3rd.Just barely spun though causeI still have the 3.08's.
