    I'm running 4.56's with a 5-speed NA, but now since I have added the novi 1000 I'm going to go to 3.73's or 3.55's I'm still undecided. What do you guys think? The person who told you to go to 4.56's doesn't know what they are talking about or they are setting you up for failure and wasting your hard earned money.

    geeze I don't know what to change to, but 456 is nuts if you want to drive it on the street. I have 3:55 with my t5 soon to be tremec.. I was thinking of going 3:73, but people tell me if I do I will regret it when I put a nice set of heads on it...

    Yeah so do I mark but that is usually on an N/A 7000+ RPM race motor.

    I don't think I have ever seen a windsor based poweradder car owner happier with anymore gear than a 3.73s that were running low 12s or quicker.

    With a C4 and 4.56s you would be hating life IMO.

    anything more than 3.73's with a c-4 is really pushing it.
