Default Who has 3.29s?

I need real world opinions for LS4 cars. Does it make the car more fun? Did it make a big difference in the overall feel?

Good question! I've been wondering the same thing. In need of a trans and was thinking about going this route as long as I'm at it.

Much better off the line acceleration. Very happy with 3.29.

with the 3.29's I felt quite a bit more pull. Driving on the highway, around 120kph, the RPM's stay in the 2300 range which doesn't effect my gas mileage that much. I'd say me driving like a jackass effects it a lot more.

Yes, but it's not quite the kick I hoped for.

I had an ls6 intake, headers, rockers before the trans went. Then I put in the 3.29 gear set when it was rebuilt and I was a little disappointed, as I expected a little bit more than I could tell anyway.

I would have probably gone with 3.69 in hindsight....but im never going to turbo or nitrous the car. If you have a cam or headwork you may have better results than I?

What is 3.29, my guess is turning gears.. but is this why we have tranny problems?
