street driven and raced everyonce in a while. th350 auto and the tires are 17"s

Any gear you put in a dual-purpose car will be a trade-off between mileage and acceleration. The 3.73 is a good compromise.

just wondering, but on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to change out gears? been thinking about going up on mine.
