you NA guys don't realize how much gearing makes a difference once you go FI

to the OP, I would recommend 3.55:1 gears. I still think 3.73:1's will be too high, and it will give you a useable first gear, because what your running right now, I'm sure unless your running bias ply's that you aren't getting very good traction in first gear.

I'm running 3.55's, I think my first gear is a little steeper than yours with the Vspec T-56, but I'm still running a vortech and I think that it's one of the better gear choices out there.

well i like my 4.10's but i ran out of gear in the 1/4 mile i know i could get some taller tires to help me get through the trap in fourth but on the street i just go shift soo much. i dont want to get a 3.73 and have my car be slower. its weird my car really pulles hard in 4th. i dont want to start another 3.73 vs 4.10 thread but i dont know what to do.
