I'm thinking of goin back to stock 3.27's
Hey guysi have had 3.73's for about 5months now, and im kinda sick of them...im thining of going back to stock. My bro has stock 3.27's in his GT, and he can pull 4 till 120, i can only pull it to 100. Plus fuel milage sucks!...So u think i am a fool to change back to stock???

get ready for it.... bc everyone will tell you to just go with 4.10s haha, but i know what you mean. but who cares if you can pull to 120 in 4th? you dont need to be going that fast anyway, a race should be over before that anyway.

Nope, in fact I have had similar thoughts recently as I find that 1st gear is over so fast at WOT it's almost unecessary--I'm sure that if I had 4.10s here in Florida (= flat land) 1st would be useless. I won't say I wish I hadn't done it, however like you I'm close to pretty much over it--other than being able tobreak the tires freeeasier when launching I find it really doesn't make much difference...[/align][/align]An alternativemight be a TKO500 with a 2.95 1st gear???[/align]

2500 at 70 i think is like 3.90? 3.27 arent really enough but if you want it stock its up to you. highest gear id run is 3.55. with the 3.73 cant you start in second or is first gear still usable?

Heres a good site that helps to know what RPM you will be at with different gear ratios. You have to look up your trans. gear ratios somewhere else, but once you know, just plug in the info and it gives you a graph to what rpm's you will run in each gear.
