Go

i guess i do have a couple more questions.....how do you like your Strange gears? Would you say those are the ones I should go with on my car? And on your programming did you get the shift points changed?, and how happy are you with the pcm4less tune? Theres just so many decisions i need to make for the upcoming year, so any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Well this is my first gear install and I cant speak from experience from other gears. But I do indeed like the Strange gears. Supposed to be one of the strongest plus it has little whine. Overall im satisified with them.

I think everyone should have 3.73s I noticed 2-3mpg loss but hell, if wanted good gas milage i should have bought a civic right? The gears are so much fun and really woke the car up.

About the programming. One thing I noticed when i had my 3.73s put in on my stock 2.73 tune. I could go WOT and the car would shift perfect and wouldnt hit the rev limiter. Dunno why, but it worked out like that. Another thing I noticed is the car shifts extremely hard after the gear install... im guessing thats normal...

Im glad I went with PCM4Less, Bryan is a really nice guy and has helped me out ALOT. When I first got my tune (back when I had 2.73s) I actually felt the difference with this performace tuning. Again, im VERY satisified with Bryan and PCM4Less.

I think I got most of your questions answered

awesome numbers bro, I went to the track yesterday night and with the items in my sig MINUS the headers, pretty much just CAI, Pulley, and Cut out and clutch i managed to hit a best of 13.49

60ft 2.148
1/8 8.701

RT doesn't mean jack for the ET, the clock starts when you do, so even if your reaction time was 1 minute your times would be the same, and for every .1 you shave off your 60' you will get a healthy .1 to .15 off yout 1/4 ET.
