Default Would I see more rwhp - Gear change

Okay I have the sts kit with the stock 10 bolt and 4:10 gears. My 4:10 gears seem to be too much for my turbocharger - It really does not give the turbo anytime to spool. I'm going to a 355 gear would the 355 gears give me more rwhp on the dyno since the turbo can spool.

I'm not sure if it will get you more hp, but I would assume that you curve would look better. The turbo will load better, and give you a flatter curve. I don't know if that's a fact, but it sure does sound good!!

And because of frictional losses, you will pick up a bit at the rear wheels.

if its difficult to stick with 3.55's just go with 3 42's. im sure you can find them relatively cheap.

what rpm the the turbo start to boost and when does it reach full boost?
