My point isand I'm being descreet about this because I don't want to lose my lively hood but anyone tells you that your limited to a a buck and a quarter is wrong. Like I said my car was pegged who know exactly how fast I was going . Let me send you a p.m.
our cars can do over 170 with the 4.10s, the 5th gear has a very low ratio.

i've had my car over 165 with my setup on a closed course

I just went from stock 3.31's to 3.73's I have an auto, went with the auto= 3.73 rule, and its definitely better, but not as much as I thought it would be. Car revs a little quicker, and you use a little less gas pedal, but it wasn't a "pin- you -back- in- the -seat" feel. Its good, but maybe 4.10's would've been better, oh well, I do alot of highway , too though.

I agree with you here a little. To me the CAI/Tune was a bigger impact than the gear change. It is noticable but it didnt change the way my car was compared to what going from stock to cai/tune was. Just my opinion though

I switched to the FRPP 4.10 gears and find the car to feel more powerful. Not downshifting anywhere near what I used to.

Also switched my Brenspeed tune from the 93 octaine back to the 87 without a noticable loss of performance.
