i was considering stepping down to a 3.55 gearset. I want to rap out gears longer and my first gear is useless and i was some fun on the street.
also how much slower do u think it would make me at the track??
to be honest with you, im sorta easy on my stuff and havent really paid attention the mph on the 1 - 2 shift. but i can this evening when i drive it.
i can tell you 1st gear is definetly not worthless.
I have 3.55's It depends on the 5 spd you have, some have different 1st gear ratios's, With the 3.55's my first gear is almost worthless I only stay it it for a few seconds. It sounds like you have a trans with the 2.95 or 3 something first gear. I drive mine on the street mostly a weekend car, but I do hit the freeways, I wouldnt want any more gear than I have.
i have the 2.95 gearset.... it helped a bit with first. but i took a ride in a buds car with 3.55s and i duno what it was, but i just loved how it felt. Still gave u the sotp but the gears lasted longer and just overall felt nice.
