lol with gear changes you can be screaming rpm's and your speeds will be completely different than what your used to. If your tach says 135, and you can pull to it "like nothing" then something is out of place. Did you change your speedo gears also when you did the gear swap? (to j3rry)

IMO 3.73 is the best gear for the street with a 5spd.
