I read the thread, and it seems like its going into production!!! Im surprised no one has posted about this. I know when the final gear mod for the auto's came out i heard like .6 off the et, which seems really high....do yuo guys know how much it actually helped? Im not really familiar with transmission stuff, so how much would this help us manual guys?? My buddy changed his on his mustang, and it made a world of difference!!! I would be really interested in this, can someone fill me in to how much it would help??

Oh man, that would be soooo sweet. I'd love to regear to 4.12s.

By changing the final drive ratio, the wheels will spin faster in lower gears, but for a shorter amoutn of time. So first gear will run out faster but terminate at a lower speed, so to get to the same speed you may need to shift more. I know it's a bad explanation, but I need cofee.

shorter shifting, lower top end speed, bad highway mpg, i still think this would great. :)

So since you have to shift more, would it be beneficial at all in a qtr mile run?

4.12 = bad gas mileage.. id only do this to a track only car.. not a daily driver.. its not worth the money for the trans or the gas.

Definately a plus for the track. I would like that final drive in a 6 speed with a nice highway gear.
