    Wondered who, if anyone, was running 3.69 gears. Any GXP owners? The good? The bad? 3.29 seems to be the choice for most when upgrading the tranny. My GXP is a weekend warrior at best. 3,xxx miles in the last 15mo. Any input is much apprciated guys, Thanks!

    I was using my Bonne as a daily when I did the 3.29's and found this.. Soon after doing them, I really didn't need them. 2.93's, 3.29's or 3.69's are all going to bake the crap out of the tires if you don't work on your launch. Sure the gears will keep you in the powerband a little better depending on other mods. But overall the constant shifting may drive you nuts.

    If you were low on power and trying to shift it to the low end, that's why I'd suggest gears. Personally though, like your sig says.. displacement aka power. That's where it's at.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
