I'm running 3.55's w/ a Zspec T5. I'm at 2k rpm's @ 70.

It already had 3.55's in it when I got it or I might have gone w/ 3.73's. My next jump will be to 4.10's, but I want the .59 OD gear from the G-Force kit.....

i have 3:27 and was gonna go to 355 or 373. heard i wouldn't feel much difference switching to the 355. i need to open the rear up because when i put the auburn in i didn't adjust backlash and it's really loose. figure put new gears in while it's open. 373's can still go on highway right?
