3.7 or 3.9 diff gears for my charged v8 stato?

[v8_stato]

i got a supercharged v8 statesman and i want a better take off,which diff gears should i go for?3.7 or 3.9s?and why?cheers

to be honest it wont be much of a difference between those two really... theyre both gunna rev high in normal hwy driving if you use it at the strip as long as you dont max out a gear just before the line with the 3.9's then it would bo ok, otherwise go the 3.7's... anyone here with a 5ltr stato that has tested these gears?

no worries mate,i dont do a great deal of hwy driving but i dont really like the idea of the gears reving out real quick,obviously 3.9s r gonna rev out quicker so thats y im leaning towards 3.7s.but is there a massive difference?any help would be great cheers.

for sure go the 3.9 you have to lose some to gain some if you know what i mean mate

3.45 would proably be better suited as its making good power whilst you still gain some acceleration down low with them

 

[v8_stato]

as soon as it hits second,bang thats when the power kicks in.

Ive got 3.9s in my blown clubby, but its manual so its a bit different.
And im going back down to 3.45s. 3.9s were great for n/a but now with the blower, it revs out too quickly

 

[v8_stato]

yeh thats what im worried about,reving out to quickly.might go with 3.45s or 3.7s

itll be easier and cheaper to find and buy 3.45's compared to 3.7 they pretty rare
