Looking to buy some gears, sad to say this is the last mod to make, its pulling about 500 at the wheels on 14lbs. I'd like to be able to go on the freeway and not be screaming. Are 3.55's too short still? Thanks in advance..Ivan

hmm, i wouldnt think you'd really need gears with 500rwhp. But if you want the thing to absolutely haul ass id put 4.30s, or maybe 4.10s if you want better gas mileage. If I drove that car, I wouldnt want any more than 3.73s.
