2.95 or 3.35 gear in tranny rebuild

GhostDog 5.0 · 03-02-2003

someone posted a few threads back that the 2.95 gear set is an improvement over the stock gearing (2.65?). Would 3.35 gear ratio be overkill?

These will be using genuine borg warner parts, so quality is not an issue.

I want to go ahead and get the best bang for the buck since I will be going through with a complete rebuild (planning on spending $600 including parts and labor).

3.35 is the Stock first gear in 89 (fact) the reason for the LOW torque rating.
2.95 first gear would be Sweet with 3.73 gears!!
3.35 is too Granny LOW for 3.73
