Default Gears!!!!

Everyone would go buy 4.10 or 3.9 gears and install them tomorrow if it wasnt for gas millage.
I know i would. So help us all out and tell us your highway millage... please be specific with gears speed and how you drive... and dont worry we probably all drive the same.

I get about 26 on the highway according to the last tank where I drove long enough. Overall I average about 22 to 23 if I can keep my damn foot off the gas.

I too want to go with more gear, I'm still stuck between 3.90 or 4.10... can't make up my friggin mind on it....[:@]

Another thing to consider is your speedometer. Those of us with the Diablosport Predator have the option of resetting the speedo for 3:73s or 4:10s. If you get a 3:90 gearset, ya better be sure you have some way of correcting the speedo.

Ohhh forgot about the recalibration. yeah i have the tuner. i guess its back up for grabs. if there isnt a dramatic millage drop then im going with 4.10. the e/t's are so tempting. but i would like good millage

That's a damn good point, when I do make up my mind I'll be getting the Bamachips tune so I'll ask Doug if he has the 3.90 in the tune or not just in case that's what I go with.

if your car has 3.55 stock why would you not go 4.10 at least?
