That's kind of an open-ended question. Do you have a m/t or auto? How tall are your tires? What motor/cam do you have? Do you drive on the freeway a lot, or is it mostly city streets?

This does not tell us what you want.

Once you tell us EXACTLY what you want like most people do, we might be able to help you. Sorry, but we are not psychic.

Someone else asked for that info. Obviously if i ask if anyone has experiance with those gears i'm looking for any type of feedback, like if they liked them or wish they would have gone with somehthing shorter/longer. not looking for some technical word game just for some help.

I know, i can read. he asked you because you offered nothing, 0 nada, zilch as to what in the blazes you want so he thought he would start somewhere.

No, this is not obvious, I try not to assume anything, it's better that way.

Our experience with the gears is subjective and I have tried them in several different set ups under several different conditions for several different driving styles but I'm not going to take a week to explain my experience with every one.

If you answer the question you will get replies that are more specific to your situation.

What is your current gear ratio?

What do you like and not like about it?

What EXACTLY is it you are wanting to achieve?

if you dont want to explain your experience then don't say anything. i dont get why you are not willing to help, but your willing to waste both our time. i get that i could have been more specific, but i want all experiences with the 3.40's and dont want to limit the info. how about this does where you happy with the acceleration gains with the 3.40's over the stock gears?
