Very cool. I'm still wanting 3.73 gears, but afraid I'll lose too many mpgs. I have considered the 3.55s, but not sure they make much of a difference coming from 3.31 gears.

With your 275/40-18 tires and 3.55 gears put you pretty close to 3.73 gearing if they had larger tires like 245/45-19 or 235/50-18 or 225/60-17.

So about a 4.65 0-60 (calculated). Not bad. Any lower/upper control arms or new driveshaft?

Great runs, OP!

Did you get a chance to datalog any of the runs?

If not, I would definitely datalog your runs in the future so you can send them to our Tuning Specialists and they can see if any adjustments will help you go faster!


Either way, keep it up and let us know if you have any questions!

Good luck!

i dont have any of that. but I am planning on getting both of them in the future. traction was an issue, i really wish I had a nice drag radial to run on I think the car has a 13.0 in her future.
