Gears

I have the 3.42 in my car now. What are each gear good for.

3.08 = ??
3.42 = ??
4.10 = ??

So on and so on,

I personally think 4.10 on a v6 is too high unless your just using your car at the track. 3.73 is as high as i would go. Basically, the higher the number (rear axle ratio) the better you will get off the line, but your top end will be less.

Theres a section on this site somewhere that talks about each ratio i think [img]smile.gif[/img]

3.42s are your best bet for an all around good gear ratio

3.08 = great highway mileage/no off the line power
3.42 = good highway mileage/good off the line power
3.73 = ok highway mileage/great off the line
4.10 = no highway mileage/OMG off the line...but you'll die in the topend

So on and so on,<hr></blockquote>
