Im swapping the tr6060 6 speed into my gt this comming weekend. I was curious what gears people use in their 6speed for street driving? I was using 4.10's in my GT, will 6th gear feel about the same as the 5spd would in 5th?

Thanks

 

i think 3.55's would be perfect for me... 3.73's might be just a hair 2 much

 

a guy that i went to the track with had a 500 with 570hp to the wheels told me that 3.73's are the best, 3.55 arent worth putting in for the slight different performance.. so he put 3.73s in and he said he loves it... since his car is a sponsored car they had put in 3.55, 4.10s then back to 3.73 gears... he said he still gets 24mpg and its much better on acceleration than in 3.31's.... 4.10 gears were just useless on the street if you got on the car.. and 3.55s didnt feel much different than the 3.31's.... but i guess it would all really depend on how much power your putting down..

 

Time out...how is he getting 24mpg with his GT500....forget the gear change..I am just curious how his MPG is so freakishly high?

 

honestly, i have no clue, but i was on a little road trip with him and just to see the best mileage he could get he babied the car... and after filling up twice he calculated the numbers and it came out to like 24.2 mpg all i know is my car on the highways was lucky to get 21.... and like i said hes got a good amount of mods and dynod at 570rwhp and it screams.... and still somehow gets good gas mileage...

 

the guys is a buddy of mine that i work with too and he has run 11.2's easy on his car...
