some gears would put you in the high/mid 13's with some sticky tires! They should run anything between $300-450 installed! I recommend FMS 3.73's or 4.10's!

Get 4.10s, trust me. Get them and dont look back unless you are getting a blower. Are you and automatic or a 5 spd? Also, dont forget some drag radials or slicks would help as well.

I have 3.73's and love them. Mine will not hook up in 1st or 2nd on street tires. I drive around on some Nitto dr's now, and love them. I would 3.73's, but that's just me. I shift into 5th at around 120. What are u guys goin into 5th at with the 4.10's?

My friend just got 4.10's in and said it was brutal on the interstate, so that makes me think twice about them. but i fell that 3.73 wouldnt be worth it cause its not to big of a difference.

I agree. 3.73s too low? 4.10s too high? hmm I wonder what they made 3.90s for....

Bah, had I known how much tq I would lose with the offroad pipe, just to get the sound, Id have gotten the gears first, but I was stubborn. Just get some 3.90s like they said. If frpp had made them, Id have gotten them for mine.

you may have felt a small loss down low, but you gain it in other places, such as in midrange and upper rpms
