Default What Else Do I Need?

I am looking at getting 3.55 gears because I am also planning on getting a SC and I heard that anything above that isn't extremely effective with an SC. When I order the gears, do I need to get anything else besides the ring and pinion? I always see other parts are "recommended" for the installation. Any help would be awesome.

Thats what I was thinking, hey buddy go underneath your car look at the differential it should say what gear ratio you have. I wouldnt want you to buy something and already have it... go either 3.73 or 4.10 buddy... 3.55 wouldnt be worth the upgrade...

you should have a 3.55 already....its after 06 that they gave the option for 3.55 and use 3.31 stock (after 06)..... check the rrear diff on the pumpkin and look for a sticker that tells what gear you have.

Go with the 3:73. You should have 3:55s already.

yup, if you are manual, then you def have 3.55s stock. What type of supercharger you thinking? I know a few guys that are running centri's around orlando that use 4.10 gears to spin that thing quickly. I like my 3.55s with the whipple, I couldn't imagine trying to utilize more bottom end torque.

I do have an 05 manual so I guess I have the 3.55's. Sweet! lol. I'm lookin at getting a procharger, or a whipple. Just trying to save up all the money in cash instead of paying credit.
