i think they have 3.27's
and a good gear ratio depends on what you want to do with it. everyday driver either 3.55's or 3.73's . A track car go with 4.10's.. And if its automatic go with 3.90's

why do people always say that, the T-45 has a .67 OD ratio, the 4R70 is .70, why go with shorter gears in the auto for the the love of god WHY?????????????

4.10s or leave it stock its as simple as that, and if its an 01.5-07 for anyone else reading this go with 4.30s

stock i think 2000 was the year 3.27s came standard, but im not sure it could have 3.08s is it a deluxe or premium with what tranny and what rim size?

It depends on what he wants to accomplish with the gears. It really does not matter to anyone but him. Damn, I'm so tired of the gear fights. First is was 4.10 or nothing. Recently, it's 4.30 or nothing. Ask the man what he is trying to accomplish and THEN advise him. Not everyone want whiplash acceleration.

where did anyone say 4.30s or nothing i said if you have a T-3650 you should go 4.30s cause thats equal to the T-45 with 4.10s which is equal to a fox body with 3.73s

No one said 4.30 here. Yet. My point is that we can better advise him on what gears to buy if he tells us what he plans to do. Is he going forced induction? Is it a DD? Is it 1/4 mile track or road track only? This is what I'm trying to get across. If we say 3.73 and it's a weekend drag car, then we have done him a disservice. If it's a DD and he is worried about gas milage, maybe 3.55 is enough for him.

I'm not trying to hammer anyone, just trying to make sure we have info to help a brother out the right way the first time.
