but first you need to tell us what your tansmission is ?

4 speed, or 5-speed ? , and where will you drive most of the time?

otherwise, what MPH does your car live at 80% of the time:

3:45 = "tall" for Autobahn/Autostrada/Daytona banking

2002 Turbo, needs 160+ HP to really use this 'top-end' ratio

sluggish acceleration

3.64 = "allround" for any conditions - somewhat good for

acceleration, and nice highway cruising. Excellent 'average'

ratio for quieter highway, tad better MPG's, loose some

on acceleration.

3.91 = "short" gear for Lime Rock, realworld city driving,

best of the 3 for quick acceleration, lowest MPG if your

worried about such things. Many squids here just want a banG

in thir back when thay HIT the gas! this is the ratio for dat.

IF your tii runs like a TII - then 3.64:1 or 3.45:1 are for you

but if your tii runs like a 2002 - better go with the 3.91:1 to help

the poor thing keep up with the YUGO's

so again? - where & how do you intend on driving ?

use the 3.45:1 here -=>

City and highway driving- No concerns about MPG - Yes it has a four speed on it but I have a 5 speed (dog leg) waiting for me to decide whether to install.

Thanks for your opinion

dogleg changes the equation as its 1:1 5th gear. go with a 3.45 in that case. thats what i have in my M2 and its nice

Blunt is right.

Blunt is right.

Blunt is right. 3:91 will be a little too revvy on the highway with a CR tranny
