4.30's are even better :)
if you like 10mpg
i noticed less than a 2mpg drop going from stock 3.08's to 4.10's
3.27's ... i think is what came in the 94-04's
i got a 2 or 3 mpg drop in city, but like 5 or 6 freeway. im tempted to go to the 3.08's or possibly 2.90's just for pure milage, and the fact that when im finally done with my car i'll be able to shift fast enough ^^
i mean mine came stock with 3.08's and i hardly noticed a difference in MPG.
I think I have 2.93, I might go to 3.55...should be a little quicker through the gears but won't kill highway. But I really need to change it because I nearly don't use 5th atm, I can do 65 in 4th @2250.
My new pride and joy! Ford Focus ST 2.5T, 237BHP (on Tesco 99RON)

I'll probably do a turbo coupe rear swap so I can get the gears, 5 lug, and disc brakes in one shot.

Haven't posted here in months. Here's my soon to be car (Picking it up on Tuesday):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0r/my240sx.jpg
1989 Nissan 240sx Coupe
Right now it's an automatic and stock motor. Not much as far as performance goes. Lowered on tokico blues and sitting on some generic 18" wheels. Full 3" catback and hi-flow cat. Plans for it include dropping in the built SR20DET I've been working on for a while:
Bored 0.020 over
Wiseco forged pistons
Brian Crower 264/264 cams
Full Brian Crower head package (Valves, springs, and retainers)
Garrett GT3582R
Custom made tubular top-mount manifold
HKS Intercooler
Greddy BOV
550cc injectors
Walbro 255lph Fuel pump
Enthalpy rom tune
And a bunch of other goodies. Hopefully get the suspension replaced with some megan racing coilovers early next spring.
My stang came with the factory option for 3.55's and lsd. However that still puts my 5th gear out of use under about 65mph simply because 4th yields about 65mph @ around 2600rpm. My engine does not like being under 2krpm simply because accelerating dumps massive amounts of fuel and yield acceleration slower than a turtle. I only cruise in 5th when doing long trips, most of the time I don't see over 4th.Quote:
