4.56 in DD are a bad idea, in the 70's I worked with a guy that put 4.56's in a Cougar it was horrible, we all laughed at him.
He says fuel millage isnt an issue so all the power to him if he wants to DD a steep gear. nothing els holding him back.
thats not the problem... you lose a lot of potential that your car might have... you don't have as much time to put all 190 crank power to the ground

yes we know u lose top end with a steeper gear set and liek i said 3 times already he will regret this gear set if he adds boost but as it goes with his N/A setup currently there is no disadvantage to him as of yet besides fuel millage and minimal engine wear for higher rpm. he wont make it over 120 the car don't have enough balls to do it and the gear set would put him at about 125 MPH before he is exceeding the rpm range of the engine.

chances are you will spend more time shifting gears then planting power ... you know that right?

I'm glad I got the 05, and the 3.55's. Anything less would be anemic. 4.10's are going in next week. I splurged and got some M&H racemasters for DDing. I'm excited about the gears.

you should definately do atleast 3.73's. if you go with 3.27's you're going to wish you hadn't
