[img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] WOW!! Thats all I can say. WOW!! Ok......this thing drives like a new car. It EXPLODES off of the line when compared to the 3.08 that was in it. As far as loosing top end and RPMs, it's really not as bad as alot of people have said. At 70 mph, I recorded 2000-2100 RPMs with the 3.08. Now at the same speed, I have recorded 2300-2400 RPMs. Stopming the gas pedal at 70 mph IS a little more sluggish with the 3.73s but it still has decent enough pickup to pass slower traffic and merge onto the highway. I will do a topend run later tody when traffic dies down. I can also say this: It is raining out, and I actually have to be careful of how hard I accelerate because it spinns the wheels every chance it gets. I AM VERY HAPPY with the results. FYI: The shop charged me $177.58 for everything which also included a new bearing and seal. They gave me a 180 day warrenty on parts and labor. I had the Strange Engineering gears installed. I broke in the gears as directed before doing ANY high speed passes.....I wonder how the 4.11s would do....... :D

Noticed you have an Auto, did you do anything to reprogram the speedo or PCM?

[nitrox28]

Not yet! Doing that Thursday. It's funny actually....It said I was doing 100 mph but I was keeping up with traffic...I was like :eek: What do I need to do to my PCM?? I just thought I had to reprogram my speedo. I tested my top end tonight against a riced out Acura Integra. I BLEW HIM AWAY off of the line but he caught up to me and passed me. My car was giving it all she had but my top end is GONE!! :mad: :mad:

What are you using to reprogram the speedo and stuff? HPP3? or can the dealership flash the PCM and reprogram... you said thursday, like you had an appointment or somthing... anyways.. enjoy and share the info... PEACE

You just need to get the governer taken out and get the pcm programmed so it has 3.73 shift points
