[QUOTE="61mmstang94, post: 8906167, member: 39350"] You'll still be good with 3.31s and you'll love them with the turbo. Believe me, when I did my first turbo setup I initially left the gears I had in my car (I think 3.73s at the time) and I hated them. Went to 3.31s and it picked up at the track and needless to say, on the road from a roll it was definately much faster and cruised at better RPMs. Most people who complain about poor performance with their turbo and serious turbo lag either have one (or more) things wrong with their car: rear and/or trans gearing, a poor tune, or a turbo that's too large for their setup. If you get the right size turbo for the power you're looking to make and you have the right gearing then it'll fly. Going with a 6-speed and 3.73s is not really a good option for a turbo and you'll have more difficulty keeping boost up and staying in the sweet spot of your powerband like a set of 3.31s would do. It sometimes confuses people because they're so used to an n/a or supercharged setup where 3.73s or 4.10s were the way to go and now they're being told they should look into 3.31s or 3.27s lol.
