How good are gears compaired to TC?
Well I know for an auto, a stall is the best mod. But I hear a TC can shorten the life of the trans, so I'm leaning more towards 3.73 gears instead.
I'll be swapping from 3.23.
If a TC is a 10 out of 10 in terms of performance, what score would the gears swap be? As good as a 7? Or maybe only a 5?
Your opinions please.

While true, the torque converter is the mod to do for the auto, gears are still a fun mod. And for the price (especially if you do them yourself) they are right up at the top of my list as a great bang for the buck.

Its hard to say, I spent less then $300 for my gears and complete rebuild kit. So I got a completely refreshed rear end and a gear upgrade for $300 bucks and a days work. For that price, you would be hard pressed to find another mod that could equal that. I also spent about $200 on a 12 ton press and a few various tools so that I was capable of doing it myself.
