wats recomended? a 3.7 ratio? the standard is 3.08 isnt it? is it easy to do once you've got the parts?

 

[seabs]

yeah 3.08 is stock.

in terms of what is recommended, it depends.

is the car auto or manual? and do u do much highway driving?

 

[premmy186]

yeh a quick change of mind, i like my highway cruzing, and **** doing it myself, it sounds like alot of screwing around, is there anything inbetween i can get, like 3.4/3.5, that wouldnt be so bad on the highway as a 3.7 would it? and its a shift kitted stock 4 speed auto.

 

[seabs]

yeah, well 3.7's arn't so bad in an auto's because *i think* the overdrive in the final gear brings the revs down quite a bit.

personally i wouldnt go 3.7's in a manual if u do lots of highway

yeah there are 3.45 and 3.5's im pretty sure.

i'v got a 5 speed and im gonna go 3.5's.

 

[premmy186]

yeh its sounds like a good way to do things, the best of both worlds meeting in the middle, have to check it out further, thanx heaps for the hand seabs. total legend

 

[seabs]

no worries!

 

[premmy186]

See ya cruzing haha, well the chances are low considering i live in brisbane, but i travel for work so im shure i'll be passing through your way sumtime... but in a falcon one tonner *cries*

The 5 speed manual and 4 speed auto (in overdrive) have almost identical ratios in top gear.

Here is a guide of what your cruising revs would be with a few different ratios:

3.08 (stock) : 1750 rpm @ 100 kph
3.45 : 2000 rpm @ 100 kph
3.7 : 2100 rpm @ 100 kph
3.9 : 2200 rpm @ 100 kph
4.1 : 2350 rpm @ 100 kph.

Oh and by the way you can get 3.45 gears out of any 6 cylinder VL and get them fitted your VN.
