Hey folks the current mods I have are in my sig. I was just wondering if going to 1.70ratio rr's would help me out or just be a waste of money. I know i could do a cam for the real power increase but I dont have the cake for that now. So just let me know what you guys think.

Thanks, Vince

I had the Crane 1.7's on mine. They were a nice addition....probably good for 5-10hp if you've got a couple of other breathing mods to help em out.

I had my stock cam advanced a couple of degrees so it worked out nicely across the board for me.

.....couple that with a welded/ported lower intake, ported E7TE’s, underdrive pulleys, a home built CAI, a step up to 3.55’s out back and a few other odds and ends and it made for a nice little “stock appearing” sleeper.

Be mindful of the brand of RRs you plan to go to if you're running the stock valve covers. I'm running the Trick Flow RRs and the baffles had to be cut out. The Scorpion would not fit under them at all.
