i'll track him down, thanks. read another thread about someone swapping gears and getting some gear whine going on. getting cold feet - not sure i want to do this just yet. i may just stick to cosmetic mods (wheels/tires) near term.

I am in the same boat. At first I wanted 4:10's but I was to scared to get it done becasue of all the stories I have read about gear whine. Then I decided that 4:10's would be to low since I have a supercharger. Now I am thinking 3:73 would be good. Keep us informed as to what you decide to do.

roger that, geocomp. i did speak to bumbera's and the guy seemed fairly knowledgeable about doing this work and the potential for whiny gears - i'd probably try them first if & when i decide to pull the trigger. no, right now i'm thinking am wheels is all i'm going to do. and only when i wear the factory rubber out first. did you install the S/C yourself or have someone do it?

3.73's definitely if you are S/C'd. I run 3.73's and had them done at Strictly Performance. I have no gear whine. There is also Fastlane on the North side of Houston who does decent work as well.
Most of the gear whine has come from people getting Motive gears instead of the FRPP gears, or just getting a crappy install.

Yes, installed the Saleen S/C myself. The install was pretty easy because the directions were very well written and very detailed. Took me a week to do it because I only worked on it at night after work. Once installed, took it to Fastlane and had them tune it.
