hey guys i have stock ~2.8 gears and i was looking at 3.55, 3.4, 3.8... what ring and pinion do you guys think would be best with a t5...I need a little more pick up off the line but i also do alot of freeway driving to school.

 

3.50's are decent and nicely priced...

 

I would go with the 3:55's because they are a good all around gear set. That's what I have..

 

I've got 3.55's with a T5z (2.95 first and .63 O.D.). I like the gearing. It runs about 1800 at 65mph with a 25.7" rear tire. Spaces 1st through 4th really nice. For an engine that makes the majority of it's torque from 2,000-4,000 rpm, I think it is a good match up. If your torque band is higher in the rev range or narrow towards the 3Krpm range, I'd opt for 3.77s.

 

3.50s I agree. I also like 3.25s

 

3.55's for the win!

 

I'd run 3.80 or 4.10 with an OD tranny. Which one depends on your power band and tire height.
