3.23--3.42 gear swap is it worth the time
3.23--3.42 gear swap is it worth the time

if you have em laying around, go ahead and through em in, not much more work if your alread putting a new carier in. i put 3.42's in my car, its not that much of a difference, but if you have em, why let em sit around???????
I agree if you got em use em.
Its not gonna knock you throgh the back of your seat but there will definitely be a diiference in your 1/4 mile. (a tenth or so)
but I say hell it aint gonna cost you anything so throw em in!!!

I agree, If you've got them, use them. Especially if you've got the mods you've got, and spend a fair amount of time on the highway, It'll be fine. Thats how I went, and I've been satisfied.
