Gears!

Well, I have my appt. set with Modular powerhouse to have my 3.73's Installed...I can't wait. Also getting an Xcal2 while I'm there. June 10th is the day. I thought it best to do this before any other power additions as the gears will immediately make my car quicker and more fun...I'm driving to Hilton Head a week later so I hope the mpg's dont suffer too much.

Congrats man! I think you'll be fine as far as gas mileage is concerned.....It's the stomping on it that hurts the mpg.

Don't worry, I wont start this debate. Enjoy your trip to MPH. Andy will do a good job for you.

hehe...4.10's??? I'm not into the drag racing thing...I think I just spoke to Andy on the phone a minute ago. So you have a S/C AND 4.10's?? that must not be your daily driver...mine is.

Daily Driver and I still get 23-25 MPG on the Highway. Don't believe what others tell you, listen to those that know, not those who have heard.
Oh, BTW...last time I went to the drag strip was November of '04.

you'll love the 3:73's. That was one of my 1st mods. Then I got the KB.

If FRPP made 3.90's I would have gone with those. I know S/C make the motor more efficient IF you can keep your foot out of it. I couldnt..I am addicted to g's as I'm sure you are too. You make cool vids BTW...thanks for sharing those.
