3.08 Gear

[shts_weak]

i currently have 3.55's and debating on going to 3.08's? its a DD car and i rarely track it..

[MonteC]

Id stick with the 3.55's and do the GM o/d upgrade.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Lol your going the wrong way. 4:10's FTW!

[shts_weak]

its a street car that i drive alot in..im looking for better gas mileage

[Whaler]

FTW? You mean for better smoke shows?

[bwelch]

I dont see you getting much better gas mileage unless your cruising of 90mph. I know my GTO had 3.90's and it was only at 1500rpm at around 85mph with a t56. If your just driving around town gears aren't going to help your mpg.

[slowgreen99]

dont t56s run around 1900 rpms in 6th with 3.73 gears?? Id say 4.10s and drive it.

[03SVTCOBRA]

3.55s are perfect for our cars. In 6th you can still cruise 85 under 2500 rpms. I wouldnt change it unless you are going higher gear for racing. 3.73s would be nice, 4.10 is overkill for us.

tell Jeff that :D

depending on how your trans is geared, 1st gear with a 3.08 may be a bitch around town, i know a fbody with a t56 and even a 3.23 is a pain in the ass around town, and 6th gear is pretty much useless unless you're doing over 70

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Mod motors love some gear. I would think the 32 valve motors would too.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Of course when you have 650 HP like Ryan, gearing becomes less important.

get a beater to drive.

Hes in the 600s too. I daily drive mine also and like the 3.55s. Like i said 3.73s would probably be ok to DD also... 4.10s would be fun but not to DD on. I actually was going to go with 3.73s when i built my rear, but was too lazy. 4.10s would be a burnout fest for your car.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

This. Might be able to pick up something for not much more than than the price of a gear swap. Then you can beat on your Cobra harder!:twisted:

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Hes in the 600s too. I daily drive mine when its not blowed up and like the 3.55s. Like i said 3.73s would probably be ok to DD also... 4.10s would be fun but not to DD on.

Fixed. :mrgreen:

[03SVTCOBRA]

Fixed. :mrgreen:

When its not blowed up, it aint going to be near the 600s anymore:Finger2:

I might as well shoot myself now. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-shocked035.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

Looks like theres plenty of cobras showing up that are sitting just like i was before the kaboom. Dont lose hope, theres always that black vert at SSS you can gap.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

That black Cobra aint got a chance unless hes done a bunch of work since last time I saw him.

[03SVTCOBRA]

That car could make double the power you make and you would still win. Hes got a better chance when his girlfriend drives it.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

LMAO. I probably ain't much better.

[shts_weak]

she made 641/602 on 19lbs :) i just hate that 1st and 2nd are too short/worthless and being able to do 55-60 in 1st would be BA

[shts_weak]

[shts_weak]

I love how ford guys call it government motors. If it wasn't for the gubment buying all yalls crown vics for cop cars yall would be in the same situation.

Actually without any facts to back it up I have heard that Ford lost money on every Crown Vic it sold to local governments. Thats why they finally quit making them. No more Crown Vic police cars.

[slowgreen99]

with all the "democrats" giving their cars up due to drug sales, I think they should just rock their junk. Who cares if its a 91 VIC on 6's, smokin, cussum CANDY paint, and dual em outs 45* out tha back? Put a light bar on it and ride!

[Matts94Z28]

New caprice cop cars ftw.

[bwelch]

New caprice cop cars ftw.

I cant wait. I will be getting me one out of a police auction for sure.

[shts_weak]

how much? tree fiddy?

You ain't kidding. 6.0's are about to get CHEAP once they start wrecking them.

to me that makes sense. if they were making good money off of them they wouldn't stop making them, ford would make as many as possible.
