so is the next step 4.50s? hell, they should only be 100 rpms higher then 4.30s right? am i right? OP 4.50s sound better.

when does it ever end? i stick by the 4.10s.

oh and btw, i know its not that big of a deal, but the difference between the two gears is actually more around 200 rpm. if you decide to take a trip, those 200 rpms could significantly increase fuel consumption. I would give you a number but i can't find the formula right now.

It really is only 100rpm difference. If you go to cliffyk's website(paladinmicro i think...google it), he has a gear/rpm converter and its only like 100rpm different. But i would have liked 4.30's but im not gonna switch them out now. When i pull the 4.10's out im going 3.55's or 3.73's for boost.

Edit: And whats the difference between the SF3 in that link and the Xcal 3??? I have the xcal 3 and im just wondering if they came out with a new tuner since i bought mine.

Dude just get em all. You can get a catless mid pipe for like 150 bucks (used one for like 75-100 bucks)

its a tad bit more, but i guess thats negligable. i did the calculations my self.

4.30s are just too steep for a DD IMO. i still believe the OP would enjoy the 4.10s the most.

i think 4.10 is perfect for a DD. not too high but still gives it alot of "pep" lol
