Re: gear change up or down

It depends upon what you want to do with it. If the 4.11's get on your nerves on the street, change to something taller. If you want to maximize performance at the track, stick with the 4.11's.

Good Luck!

Re: gear change up or down

3.55's are the middle of the road. You get both mileage and performance. You must be turning some really high rpms doing 60mph or 70mph with those 4.11's. An overdrive would be the ticket and then you could still retain the 4.11's. Life would be GOOD!!
