[QUOTE="the.greg, post: 1104482, member: 11226"] I don't buy into the don't fear the gear crap. Its one thing on a n/a car, but with a forced induction car the power makes up for the torque multiplication. Yes you will be blowing the tires off regardless if you want to, but at the same time you want to stay in the powerband as long as possible. Plus with higher gears and a blower it hits hella hard and all of a sudden you are boosting at 4krpms then the tires break traction and you immediately are at redline. Its not ideal. I think 3.55s would be perfect. Plus on a stock engine 2v you can only rev to what 6200? No point in having 3.73s or 4.1 if you cant rev it higher than that like you can in a 4v or possible a built 2v. [/QUOTE]
