I'm lookin to buy gears as my next upgrade, but I don't know which to go with: 3.73 or 3.55?? I do plan on supercharging my car sometime in the winter. I've heard that if I'm gonna supercharge it, 3.55 would be best to go with because the 3.73 gears would cause me to burn out off the line. True??? [Confused] [Confused]

'88 GT 5.0 Full exhaust right now. Plan on gettin an e-cam, heads, eibach springs, subframe connecters, intake manifold, throttle body, bigger mass air, fuel injectors, 331 or 351 motor dunno yet havent thought about it a lot, and a buncha other things I don't really wanna list. [Big Grin] So you'd say 3.55's? I've heard that from hella people. Just might go with that [patriot]

Dude, if your going to do all that, your going to burn out anyways. Might as well go w/3.73s or 4.10s and some drags. Your going to have all that power might as well push it [burnout]
