I was wondering,how many RPMs are you guys turning with 3.55,3.73,4.10,and you guys with 4.30s @ 65MPH in 5th gear,that will be the deciding factor when I buy gears.

It better not be.

4.10's or 4.30's, don't get scared by what your tach says. Once you drive 4.10's, you'll feel really stupid for worrying about it in the first place.

3.55's, don't even waste your time or money. Same goes for 3.73's unless you're going to be putting down a LOT of power.

Why a taller tire? and who the hell is jimifitzgerald?

A guy on here who has a supercharged auto GT that will run mid 10's in the 1/4 mile. He runs 4.10 gears with his supercharger and a 28in. tall slick on the rear. I recommend a taller tire because it allows for more contact patch to the surface and will help to reduce wheel spin. If you dont have any problems hooking now or running out of gear with your power adder, then stick to the size your using.

What should labor run to do a gear swap? I have a good local shop, but just want to keep them honest.

The shop that does mine charges me $275 to do the swap, but that includes the fluids and stuff.

I would think that would be the most you should pay though. Some shops that are more like just regular mechanics than speed shops will do it for a lot less. I think I have heard quotes as low as $150 for the install.
