I'm running 3.9's in the VZ SV6 5spd and they're much much better for acceleration. haven't really had too many issues with wheelspin from launch either...unless its wet, then it keeps trying to go sideways until you hit 4th lol. sits at about 2500rpm at 100kmph but I don't really do a lot of highway driving so not an issue :thumbsup:

They would be, given your stock ratio was 2.8...

VZ SV6
What were the VZ SV6 stock? im looking into getting these changes when i put the SV6 in for a VCM tune.

So 3.7s would do well?

P.S. where would i look into buying a set, and would i be able to get them put in by whom ever does my tune?

thats the go, i wouldnt be worried about wheel spin, irs and a 4sp auto will kill that chance pretty easily,

unless you keep it a single spinner with 3.9's which you arnt, lsd will keep you happy with 3.9s's just be carefull on corners in the wet with the lsd though lol, mine gets real happy with 3.46
