Default which gears

hey guys,

need to replace my gears cause these things whine louder than a 03 cobra with a nano pulley on it. Brand suggestions? I was thinking about just some ford ones or maybe motive? Something that can survive 500 to the wheels

I was talking to one of the bigger sponsors today and they mentioned motive was having some issues lately, and he suggested going with the richmond gears instead. The shop has done a lot of buisness on here and I trusted his word and went with the richmonds for a few bucks more.

On another note richmond gears are the last gear still made in the good ol US of A which was a very big plus for me.
