What's up guys ? I'm planning a 2013 GT 5.0 automatic build and wanted to know the best gear ratio for the mods listed
It's going to be a fun street car with minimal trips to the strip

1 VMP 2.3L TVS 8# or Roush 2.3L TVS 8#
2 Lethal Performance o/r X-pipe
3 Bassani Street/Race Axle-back
4 295/35/20 street tires no drag radials

3.73 or 4.10 ? Any other thoughts welcome as torque converter and so on

Ya if u run that street tire with a TVS and those gear choices you'll have way to much wheelspin

I've got nearly the same setup but with 275 Nitto 555's. Let's just say 1st and 2nd are not use able at all. Might want to think about your tire combo some more.

I run a 28.9" tire and swapped to 3.73's and it did nothing for me. It did make the car "feel" a little stronger during part throttle on the street, but it already felt like a beast. Like everyone says, a 28" tire and a stock, 3.15 gear is magic.
