3.73 upgrade with UDP's for V
Finally got the damn deal done at Brenspeed today and couldn't be happier with choosing the 3.73's. I tell ya, ford really screwed the pooch with the 3.31's in the auto's. I'm so glad I can enjoy 60mph with no drone and actually have throttle input in o/d. Great all around gear for the s197 and next to the cai/tune the best mod you can do imo.
I didn't jump on it out of the hole much on the way home, but what little I did brought nothing but smiles and I can't wait to get the 555's out of the garage this spring for the first time...it's gonna be good
4.10 or 3.73...IT JUST DON"T MATTER! Get one of them, you will be glad you did, i promise.
As for the udp's I will say this...not much in the seat of the pants dept, but they do refine the nature of the engine down low and help to smooth out light throttle input and idle. I'm hoping for some help with gas milage, but we will have to see if I get my wish with a couple of tanks of gas. My hope was to counter the effect the new gear would have in the drop of mpg...got my fingers crossed with that. They are a nice thing to have, but not really necessary unless the price is right. The gear on the other hand is a MUST HAVE and as many have said before...do not fear the gear!
Big thank you to Chandler and the guys at Brenspeed for showing up in the snow and gettin her done. Great work guys, gears are as quiet as a church mouse. Oh I left milk in the fridge at the guesthouse, better get it before it spoils...my bad.lol

Thanks bro, you are gonna love that setup, the 4.10's will be nasty! I gotta have them cams at some point myself and plan on multiple trips to see the guys for upgrades in the future. Great bunch to do business with for sure and 1/2 price install is the ticket! Post up some audio when you get the cam installed for motivation
