Gear Poll
I want more power to the seat however I have been warned that a higher gear will make the carrun like an old
triumph car, revving like a bitch but improvement not that much to compensate. I'm now in a thinking process on about what gears to get. Either way I can't be happy with leaving things alone. I just got to keep modding and this by far is cheaper than Long Tube Headers which I can't imagine payingcost and labor being a divorced dad with child support and living with the current wife whosays all this modding is ridiculous. Please help. I know we have a search button but a poll I haven't seen yet. I want performance from 0-60 but with decent highway driving. Gas mileage no less that 20 mpg.

RE: Gear Poll
How do you poll a gear choice??????
Notto be mean here,but there are SO MANY factors to consider when going with a gear decision, that polling it isn't going to be much help.I have been in is this same boat with a gear decision as well. First, what is yourgoal for the car?, Second, is it a daily driver and/or track car as well?. Third, most important, what are your Mods now, and what are going to be your future mods including possible tire size diameter changes. If you arehonestly worried about a lesser then 20MPG, I would not change the gears, 3.31's are just about as perfectas you get for MPG.
