I hope you're not referring to me, because if you are, you obviously can't read. I clearly stated that I have installed, tested, and removed 3.91's from my car. For some reason, my setup seams to prefer the 3.46's. The car picked up more with the FAST then it did with the gears for roughly the same investment.

Not edgy at all, just stating a fact. I love how everyone jumps on the bandwagon and doesn't think for themselves. Just assumes that whatever works for some works for all.

What size tire are you running though? Most of us are still running a 26ish inch tall tire, which would make 4.56's really suck on the highway. Looks like you ought to be in the 10's pretty easy now.

i also run 4.56's and they are not bad on the highway at all. i get over 20mpg on the highway still, but it is around town it is in the single digits.

Not sure. I have to buy a bigger throttle body to go with it. Once I sell my Ls6 intake manifold then I can buy that. I'm also at 92% on my injectors so I might wait to do all of that at once. I just didn't want to pass up on this awesome deal.

I have a lot more power than you, and I'm an M6 and with 3.91's or 4.10's I'd be just about at the top of 4th at the end of the 1/4. PLUS I get 27 MPG on the highway with 3.73's.
3.73's are more than enough for any decently modded setup..with a cam and high revving combo they like to stay in the gear a little bit more......go with 3.91's if you're not planning on doing a **** ton to the motor and need to get the most out of a weaker engine with slicks and traction.
