Gears

City driving is where low gears (i.e. numerically high) are in their element. Perfect for stop/start low speed driving when pulling off quickly is desirable. Not so good for highway. This is why you would make a compromise. Frogmans 3.73 suggestion sounds about the right balance for a mix of city and highway driving.
 
Im no mark viii performance expert but for what you want i'd say the lower the better. Maybe 4.10 or even lower.
 
well, i dont really want to street race, i just wanna beat the junk out of kids that mess with me at lights in there little rice burners, :)
 
First off, I've seen my share of death... that you can count on. However, after you pull the twisted and broken body of a 2 year old baby out of a car that was practically flattened by a Diesel pick-up truck racing another pick-up truck, and she dies in your arms while you're trying to be a good citizen and keep her alive until Paramedics show up, you might just have the same thoughts as I about street racing.

So if that makes me a street racing NAZI, so be it.

I would like to have 4.10s But I am going to go for the 3.73 because I travel 60 miles everyday on the Highway at 75-80 MPH.

Anyways They have the speed cal which would fix it, now all I need to do is where I should get them installed from. Reinhart is about 2 miles away from me, maybe I will go over their. BTW would an SCT fix the speedometer?

There is very little difference in RPM's between 3.73 and 4.10 gears, being only about 200RPM. Just go for the 4.10's.
 
hells yeah go for 4.10s
ill be honest it was a seriously noticable mod along with the jmod and shift kit u get the tune at the same time and yeah... other thing is torque converter if someone didnt mention it already

what a toad...i mean man...sniff...you are the MOST MATURE 32 year-old on earth, thanks for all these pearls of wisdom.
We are all eternally grateful for your 2600+ posts, complete with witticisms, pompous diatribes-gee, now I should spell-check... 'lol' (i think paris hilton invented the 'lol', but i'm certain I'll be corrected):rolleyes:
 
Awww. Are you STILL butthurt over being called "Sparky"? Too bad.

Unlike you, I post here more than just when I have a problem with my cars... or just to try and get back at the guy who called me (you in this case), "Sparky". Or was it Skippy? Hell, I don't remember. Shows you how much I really care, don't it, skippy-spark?

Keep it up.

took you all of 8 minutes and that's the best you can do? doesn't bother you, I can tell-"LOL"
and, yet another reference to 'butthurt'-you must have a personal problem...
but, if we do 'search', that is obvious-and, as an aside, do you actually have a life?

we were all just wondering. keep up those witty posts, toadboy.
your pal, skippy, or sparky, or whatever you think your adolecent 32 year-old mind can come up with to associate my (and others') opinions of you. God, toad, you need a new writer...
 
1. I would have replied sooner, but I was working on something.

2. Well, I was in the NAVY, you know.

3. No, I don't really have a life. I work about 5 months out of the year, clear well over 6 figures (not that its' really any of your business), and the rest of the time I spend online waiting for you to follow me around LvC and post pathetic attemps at trying to insult me. Every now and then I go somewhere, but even then, I take along a laptop because I gleefuly await your posts.

4. "we" being who, exactly? You, yourself, the mouse in your pocket and that MYTURN user?

5. It's actually spelled "adolescent". And who are these "others" you speak of again? Do tell.

6. Nah. Thanks for the suggestion for a new writer. Alas, I seem to be doing a pretty good job at annoying you enough to follow me around here on LvC. So it's all good, IMHO.

6. Why do you bother quoting the post above yours? Do you really feel that mentally superior to me and think I can't figure out that its' the post above you're replying to?
 
love it when you prove my point-keep posting, we all are loving this-
as if anyone could be superior to you, that's funny (actually, very funny and suprisingly easy).
Now, get help, make a new list, DON'T plagerize. Come on, toad, you can reply, you do better if you take your time, this we've all noticed.
I know it'll be tough, try not to use the word 'idiot'-it's so childish. Oh, my bad, you are...
 
I prove YOUR point? Uhhh. how do I do that again? Do tell.

A lot of people are superior to me. I know that, you don't seem to know this fact though.

Get help? Why? I rather enjoy antagonizing you.

It may be tough for YOU to reply, for it me, this stuff just comes naturally.

Idiot.
