Default Really had some fun today with the new gears!!! I'm not so dissapointed anymore...

Well, I had to go back into town to get some sea foam and a new PCV valve. As I was heading home, nobody was on the road so I decided to stop and try out what the gears could really do from a dig. Well I came to a complete stop, locked it into 1st gear, preloaded and let er rip, it spun for a second, hooked and really took off!!! I was very impressed. A little bit later I was almost to the dirt road so I decided to stop and try out a brakestand. I once again stopped, locked it in 1st, pressed on the brake mashed the gas, the rpms went up to about 2 1/4 grand and I let off the brake and the tires just roasted till about 5 grand, I put it in D (which puts it in second) and it shifted into second and they just kept on roasting (without the brake!!!), it was almost orgasmic. I looked in my rear view and saw a nice cloud of smoke behind me and smoke rolling out from behind the tires, I then let off and was happy the whole way home. I was never able to do this before with the 3.27s.

From a 55 roll, the rpms climb very quickly, but today was the first day that I really got to test them out from a complete stop, I see what you guys mean by "it becomes a whole different car" I don't think that I'll be going to 4.10s anytime soon, I'm completely happy.

Now try it on the highway... 5th gear actually pulls pretty well now when you want it to.
