The car was originally bolt ons that's why. 4th goes to about 140 or so, it's not that bad. He really needs to wastegate it though, he's barely spinning that blower so it takes a while for it to get rolling, that's why he starts pulling on the mustang up top. Either do that or go back to 3.45s.

Don't see the issue with running 3.91s on a heavy centri car.

Heater now wants a turbo JY 5.3 after viewing this video

Faster blown 5th gens run 3.27s and heck even the fastest 5th gen runs like 2.95 gears lol

Meh I disagree but hey believe what you want. That car would probably loose to the 5.0 in the vid with a 3.27 lol
