kool!!! coming together nicely. if you are getting a KB next summer i dont know what to tell you about gears. I have 410s with my procharger and 1st and 2nd is an absolute riot. And i mean it, no traction AT ALL... im going to be changing my set up later (d1 upgrade, fuel system, and prorbably going down to 373's)

Traction on a KB with 3.73s will demand 275+DRs or slicks to have a chance at all.

LOL you crack me up. Right now you should be reading up on how-to's on installing shocks/struts/springs... Not thinking ahead about what you are going to do next lol. Take a break. Your brain will thank you!

HP - I'm not worried or over thinking! Simple a question to the above guys. I have been going through different spring and such install instruction sheets though, haha! And my kit will have its own instructions, so I'll be ready!!

Thanks for lookin out for me though!

wont be a track car, might see the strip or course once in a while. but a daily driver focused car. so 3.55s for dd? makes sense. thanks guys

The only time that i think i'd want 3.55's or higher would be if i was going turbo. 3.73's are probably all the lower that i'd go unless ive got a 700+rwhp cobra then i'd let the stock gears in there. Turbo's are the only power adder i think that you should go that high in. 3.73's with a KB FTW!!! I mean if youre going to do gears, at least make sure you'll be able to tell you did it afterwards. 3.27-3.55 isnt that big of a jump and i dont think it will make much difference.

I couldn't see myself spending all that money to go from 3.27 - 3.55

I would however try to find a used mach 1 rear and sell my current one if i was set on 3.55's
