so after a computer reprogram, i should have zero probs? over 100 shouldn't be a prob?
Right now with my 308s, I'm at 1900 rpms at 70. I'm sure with the 373s I will be in the mid 2000s. Now, will the power from the turbo effect that? Meaning, with a correct speedo, that I'll be at oh.. 2200 rpms or something.
thx

a lot of extended high speed driving w/ 3.73's is harsher on your engine, causwe your rpms will be higher. I'm struggling with this myself... my rear end NEEDS to be rebuilt and im ordering my gears tomarrow. only question is 3.42's or 3.73's. if i was going N/A i would prolly use 3.73's but SOMEDAY i would like to S/C so i think im gonna get 3.42's.

Yes. The only reason you're stuck under/about 100 without the reprogram is because the computer "thinks" your going faster, so it kicks in the speed limiter. Reprogramming the computer for the gears will make it read the correct speed.
I have a hypertec III and removed the speed limiter, and have W rated tires and 3.73 and I have been over a 100 many times. I have been over my old speed limiter setting of 118(I believe)A few times, and over 125 once (buried the needle), dont think I will do that again. Gets scary, and I am a wussy.

Part of changing gears...and doing it CORRECTLY includes editing your car to be recalibrated to read out accurately.
Recalibration will allow you to go up to 115 where you will hit the govenor. Remove the govenor, and you should be able to hit 130MPH if your engine is stock. Up around 145MPH if you have some decent power with 3.73's.
If any of you can't break 100 MPH you did something wrong!

gears should depend on how big of tires u plan on getting. u could get 3.73's or even 4.10's and run 335-35-18's and be fine w/ highway rpm's and gas mileage.

I have 3.73's with my supercharger, and they are fine. It is just a myth about losing gas mileage... I gained 2-3 mpg with 3.73's n/a, and they've only helped w/ the blower.
Also, I only gained a couple hundred rpm's on the highway... I wish I got 4.11's instead, because 3.73's aren't a huge difference over my old 3.23's.

Its a rev limiter and the cut off in an auto is 118.
