to the folks contemplating 3.7 gears, what is the primary motivation for making the switch? obviously there will be an improvement in acceleration, but that comes at the cost of lower fuel economy & higher cruising RPMs. the 3.7+ upgrades makes a ton of sense for folks who track their cars and i'm not trying to dissuade anyone from making the switch. it just seems that herd mentality is driving a lot of discussion.

3.7FD seems to be the best compromise of PROs vs CONs for N/A 5AT guys. if i can't find one, then i'll still be happy w/the 3.5 w/vLSD swap.

if we can get a group buy on 3.5 or 3.7 fd i will definatly be in. would we do full pumpkin or just the gears themself?

I'm sticking to what I got. I'm already at 3,250 - 3,300 rpm at 80 mph and with just test pipes and a muffler it's loud enough for a cop to pull me over. Gas mileage isn't all that great as it is. I so wish the 7AT was out for the previous gens.Originally Posted by bigc
