    Can all the guys that have 3.29 gears chime in on your thoughts? How has the performance increased? I am about to bite the bullet on this, along with a 300M input shaft, 7/8" chain, etc.


    Thanks!

    I've always preferred the 2.93's over 3.29's. Considering I race my car 1% of the time and DD it 99% of the time. SC cars and GXP's have pleanty of low end torque to get the car moving. It's already FWD there is only so much you can do before turning it into a tire melter.

    I've been debating whether to do a 100 shot or the trans (gears) first. And I've flip flopped a couple times.

    Throw the spray at it and you'll have the same effect of doing the gear swap......Keep saving up for the trans fund.

    Start at 50 shot make sure you can handle it. Have a way to pull timing if you don't have the ability to tune and dump the tr6 plugs for br7ef ngk

    After doing some more research on tech. Projected tip plugs (tr6) and nitrous don't like each other compared to a regular tipped br7ef. Which nitrous lsx gurus recommend. If youre going to spray on 91octane you need all the help you can get.
