Author Topic: What gears to buy??? WhitePoint ¯ Member # 4642 posted                              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??? -------------------- Yeah you'll see my hazards, but not because I'm broken down Posts: 359 | From: Tha Bay | Registered: Jun 2004  |  : Fostang ¯ Member # 3752 posted                              umm what kind of car? mods....future mods....suspension....type of use.....

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 -------------------- IwishIwasan03COBRA!
