What Gears?

[sgarlic]

As you can see, it's a matter of opinion.. you could spend hours going through threads here, but ultimately, it's up to you.

Just realize, you'll be dissapointed going from 3.27 to 3.55, and if you have to pay for the gears/installation, you may be dissapointed with 3.73's too (if going FI is just a dream, and not a real possibilty down the road.)

going to 3.55 from 3.23's arent enough of a difference to warrant the price of the gears+install. id do at least 3.90's(like i am) if you plan on wanting the feel of better gears for now, and/or expect to do major mods later.

Depends whether you're auto, or manual, whether you plan to stay NA, or supercharg/nitrous/turbo, etc.

In my opinion, since you already have 3.27's, there'd be almost no change to 3.55's, especially just driving around on the street.

Hell, my 3.73's feel practically the same to me than my stock ones did, only I lose traction more often now.

To summarize:

5-Spd - Plan to supercharge
------------
Kenne Bell/Eaton - 3.73's
Vortech, Paxton, etc, - 4.10's


5-Spd - No plans to supercharge
------------
4.10's


Automatic - Plans to supercharge
------------
4.10's minimum


Automatic - No plans to supercharge
------------------------------
4.10's minimum, and if you don't do a ton of highway driving, I'd even go steeper, like 4.30's.

Good break down.

And I'll add.......N/A 4V 4.10-4.30 minimum. Anything less and you're a puss (TOM)!!!

It's ok....I know you're not going to do it now anyway. Since you're too cheap to spend the $40.00 on the install kit.
