Buying my gears need advice
Alright fellows, I've got my credit card ready and I'm ab out to order my gears, I'm thinking 3:73 because I drive 90 miles round trip.
So I guess 3:73 are going to be good for me. If you don't think so, please give me some numbers, like 80mph@xxx rpms, so I can see where my cruising speed will be with the gears.
I am really in a HURRY to get these as my modbug has bitten DEEP!
So please everyone give a different example of what gears you have and at 80mph in 5th give us your rpms. ' Preciate it.

I got 3.90s 'cause I wanted more than 3.73s (which a lot of people say aren't worth it) but less than 4.10s (cause I drive in the winter too.)
With 3.90s I'm turning about 2500rpm at 75mph in 5th.

Damn. Almost all my driving is on the interstate and IF I come across any races they are usually from 75 to 130 or 140. So I really want to have the combo to win at hi speeds. Just in case. I don't plan to go that fast but I like to have the ability to do so.[8D] Everything says 4:10's. I guess I'm just being a puss and am scared it will be too revvy and not daily driverish like I need. Will someone post their shift points and mph and rpms up to 130 or so.

I disagree.

3.73 is the way to go my friend. +400 rpm across the band. 4.10s, u may as well have a 4 speed trans.
