RE: I NEED GEAR RATIO SUGGESTIONS
ORIGINAL: Turbo 05
with the extra power you have from the blower you shouldn't need gears all that much, your 1/8 mile times are slighly better then stock if not equil, i would invest in learning how to drive your car and getting it tuned and I am sure you could drop alot of those times. I wouldn't go any more then 3.73 if you do the gears, with the increase in HP you dont want to use up your top speed to much with gears.

I have to disagree. Again, the higher you can stay in the RPM band the better. 3.73's will drop you lower in the RPM band on each shift than the 4.10's, and won't get you to peak power as quickly. Overall I don't think it will make that much difference, but for the same money, go with the gear that will yeild you quicker times (4.10's).
