Rear mount guys...what gear are you running, and liking?
Im curious to see whats said. yes ive read may threads concering the lower gear ratios for turbo car. Im curious to see what fello rear mount guys are running and liking. I have a ford 9" in my car with a 3.90 right now. After some track runs..im noticing im going threw the traps..shift light blareing..and not picking up much MPH.

Dang..thats a small gear! I also forgot to mention i am running a TH400 and a 28" tall tire. I just like the way my car leaves with the 3.90. On the transbrake im not really up on boost when i leave. That could be fixed with a converter im sure.

i have 3.73 gears with my STS kit.... main reason was I thought I was going to stay N/A but found a cheap kit and had already swapped gears. I get 17-18 around town, 27mpg on the highway and can nail it in 6th gear without having to shift down to 5th at highway speeds

I ran 4.10's at first with an STS and hated it, you barely use and of the boost because the running through the gears so fast. Try a 3.42 or a 3.73 and I bet you'll love it! You'll be in boost a LOT longer thus more acceleration.
