[QUOTE="JCP281, post: 15009294, member: 172839"] There is a thread on this topic a few threads down. LOL it all depends on what you want. Truth be told, if your staying n/a with a cobra/mach 1, 4.30s are hard to beat. With F/I, your probobly better off in most cases sticking to 3.55 or 3.73s. Again, a lot depends on what type of blower system or turbo you go with. I am of the opinion that if you have a centri blower, you can get away with more gear. But you know what they say about opinions. EDIT: at 70 ull be around 2700-2800. People tend to make a big deal about this, but to each his own. People always seem to be a-ok with 4.10s and there is only a 200 rpm difference between the two at 70. Granted, this is with stock tire sizes. If you step up to 18" wheels, in most cases you will make the car feel like its geared less aggressively. So keep that in mind when changing wheels and tires. The bigger the overall circumference of the tire, the taller the effective final ratio will be.
