gear swap?

i currently have 4:30's in my car. i was thinking about going to 3:73's or 3:90's(if they make em). i can't get my damn car to hook up at all plus my shifting is entirely too quick. unless i'm just a pu$$y. let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!

Re: gear swap?

If its geared correctly for the trap speeds you anticipate (which is the primary consideration), then you need to put more tire under it.
