Default got me some 3.73s

yes, im a n00b on these forums, but i just got some 3.73s for my otherwise stock 94 gt... ive had everyone tell me that these gears will make it seem like a whole new car. others say it wont. im jsut wantin some advice on how big of a difference theyre gonna make once i put em in. if its a big difference ima go ahead and get it done, if not ima buy some more parts then put em in.

I say you'll notice a huge difference...and a huge loss of traction. I did when I got my 3.55s.

they will be a great improvment over stock gears, what is your stock gear ratio? you may want to inspect/rebuild the trac lok while your in there... best mod for your buck!

+1 Gears are one of the best "bang for the buck" mods that you can do! Depending on what gear ratio you have now it will make a huge difference... even if you have 3.27's it will still make a pretty big difference... good luck!

if you got a 5.0 with a 5sp you should have no problem beating him anyways... even if your car is stock. if it's an auto i still say you should be able to beat him but the gears will help alot. do it. i'm looking forward to getting my gears..... the greatest mod is always the driver.
