F FoxTail Member Jan 2, 2011 35 0 6 Central Illinois Apr 5, 2011 #1 Apr 5, 2011 #1 Looking at some of the aftermarket T5's. See a lot of them are running .63 ratio 5th gear vs factory .68. For those of you with the .63 ratio, what kind of rpms are you seeing at 70-75 with 373 rear end? Any recommendations on 5th ratio choice and manufacturer?
