I have an '02 Saleen S281 non-SC model. I have done nothing to the car however it came with the **correction** 3.73 gear option. Which models do you guys prefer or recommend? I am partial to the Kenne Bell and have heard nothing but good stuff about it. Thanks for any help.

Yeah, the KB is a nice model that makes oodles of low end torque, but it's pricey. The Novi and S-trim centrifugals are also nice kits and tend to pull a little harder up top and are less expensive to boot. It's all going to depend on where you'd like to make most of your power and what your budget is like.


....and it's 3.73 gears BTW, not 3.77's.

3.73 gears were not a factory option.

OE was 3.27, and there was an option for 3.55 gears on the NA cars.
