Get a set of gears. 3,73s or 4.10s. I prefer the 3.73s. You should be able to get a set installed at a local shop for 500 or so. I paid about 600 bucks but that was at a dealership. Dont try to do this yourself, its a bitch.</P>
Of all of my current mods, the 3.73s were by far the biggest improvement.</P>
The following links will tell you what your RPM@ speed will be for different ratios, so you can decide which to get if you get em. Use the tire one first to figure tire diameter, then the RPM calc. These are farily accurate.</P>

WHAT?! your contract with flowmaster over? <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

to answer the question i think 500, especially 600 is outrageously high for gears. like everyone i know says 400 tops. go 3.73's if you're worried about gas mileage, if not then get 4.10's</P>
