I keep hearing how these turbo cars like the gears like 2.73 and 3.08s but on the boosted lists saw many many fast cars and quite a few had 3.73 and 4.10 and still managed to do pretty darn great. And I prefer going to 3.42 and up for the times one is off boost especially in a street car. Better I think on the clutch too and even auto 3.42 feel so much better around town then wimpy 2.73 or 3.08. Sure on boost those gears are good and good on the highway. Not a big as deal in the m6 with its two overdrives. Still torn on my car between 3.54 and 3.73. Not going less than that ,can't as going dana 60. Not worried in the slightest after seeing the boosted list and Jm ran great times and think he is still on 4.10s in his auto.Must have that rev limit at 7000 though from looking at his trap mphs.

If you're going to drop the clutch you'll need a 2-step in order to not bog. Otherwise you can slip the clutch out quickly at high rpm (4500-5000) and pull a decent 60ft without nosing over.
