These gears feel like I literally added a hundred horse power to the car. I ran around the street with 14#'s of boost on my old set up (3.73's). The identical set up with 3.27's on my new car is like night and day. I thought it might be a dog off the line from street light to street light, but if I rev it up a little off the line, and it flat out halls ass. Plus, the lower rpms on the freeway are a great benefit as well. I can’t wait to see the results at the track. I'm pretty sure my trap speed will definitely be higher.

no doubt those gears are helping load in the low gears as well as up top.
I run 327's as well, and wouldn't have it any other way.

I remember when I swapped the T56 in my 01. Ran the 3.27 for a week. I could hit nearly 60mph in 1st gear!!

I will be doing the 3.27's as well while my cobra is down. I am looking forward to the better fuel mileage.
