    Here's a link to what Dave has.
    Upgrades

    I'd aim to base the gear ratio off your goals, like the others have said.

    If you drive the highway and this will be in a DD, then you might want to stay stock 2.93 or go 3.29 ratio.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    sesne you are top swapping you have 3.29 gears all ready and will be perfectly fine it will be just liek it is now.

    i personaly find the 2,93 gears a bit anoying with city driving as it tends to lug the engine more and shifts in and out of OD more often
    But why make it an SE?

    Want to know a secret??

    PUT IT IN 3!!!!

    Then it'll never touch 4th gear and a less chance at it stripping the splines on the shaft. Yes, I know, I am a genius.

    He's saying around town. When you are barely touching the low 40mph's.

    Or you can program around most of the lugging.

    Right...now let's jump back on topic. If you have further questions about the selection/programming, please start a fresh thread so we don't take this one off topic. Thanks
