Default who else runs 3.27//1 gears?

Just want to know how fast you are, if you can cook rice, whether you're satisfied with that gear ratio and stuff like that.

uhhh, 3:27s are optional automatic gears from the factory.. aka, you'll have more fun with something better, like 3:73s or 4:10s

I believe my car has them. I won't know for sure until I replace the clutches. First and second were almost useless on street tires. Third was a little slow to pull through but, would spin a bit with a power shift at 50 mph.

I am also. 4.10s are doing fine on the freeway. 3.73s would probably be better though.

3.27 are ok if you have them stock but i would never spend money on having them installed.

I'm currently running 3.73 on a stock 93 with bolt ons.
It's nice at the track because you don't have to slip the clutch to control the traction.
I ran a 13.6 @ 102 with them.

Problem is I hate them. Going to switch to 3.27's soon. I can't stand the engine reving on the highway and I'm using alot of fuel.
In town I also don't like having to shift so much.

We will have to wait and see but since my car is not a high rpm breather. (Ran those times shifting at 4800rpm). It's on super slippery radials. I highly doubt a taller gear will effect my et but more than 2 tenths.

I prefer modifications that have little to no negative drawbacks.
