thanx bro just making sure I remembered it right. Someone said that with 3.73's going 80mph there at 2500rpm and thats where i am at so i might have 3.73's and not even know it??

I went with the tuner first. Then the gears. I would do it that way again, for the reasons mentioned before regarding the recalibration. Also for me the gears were a much more expensive upgrade. I did gears, SFC, IRS bushings and IRS brace all at once and the install of it all. Cost around $900-$1000 total.

Damn.

well this is still like split decision... say i got 3.90's how much would it affect my speedometer.. i know these cars really need 410's and much would i notice the difference in mpg with 410's

depends on what kind of driving you do. i do alot of in city driving and to tell the truth its a great city gear. i rarely get on the interstate that much, but its not that bad on the interstate at all. your about 500 RPM's higher than stock if im not mistaken (somebody correct me if im wrong.....i cant remember) doing about 75. plus its the "oh shit" factor every time i WOT that muther when i feel like playing around. push in every gear!!!

TwirtleNutZ270 · November 18th, 2009, 04:55 PM

Definitely Go with the the gears and then the tuner!

Yeah I just remembered it wrong then its been a while since I have been in my baby! lol

GidEup · November 18th, 2009, 06:56 PM

your about 500 RPM's higher than stock if im not mistaken

Pretty sure that's right if not really close. I went gears first purely because I got brand new ffrp 4.10's for 135 shipped back when they were 175ish.

GET IT TUNED.. that makes all the difference, and if you have any other mods it will help you to get the most of your care (hp and mpg), sure you can throw them in and recal you speedo, but a good shop can get you set up right so your rpms are fine.. don't sweat it, and get 4.10... </end of story>

i have 4:10's @ 80mph i'm just a tad under 3k rpms and i'm an auto. my buddy has the same exact mods but he's a 5spd w/ 3:73's and he's around 2500-2600 rpms. when we race (roll or dig) i always jump out ahead because of my gears!

M.P. Cobra Fan,
this is kinda off subject, but does you plate say CAVDIVR on it. Because if it does, i was behind you the other day.

HickRocket1258 · November 19th, 2009, 10:34 PM

Go gears. You will need to fix speedo though if you get gears done.
