THis comes with everything i need and i can get it for a 2 carrier

http://slponline.com/view_product.as...NUMBER=64046MS

This on i would have to get a new carrier and gridle and oil and stuff

What do you guys think i should go with and why?
Also I am thinking of just getting the 3:42 gear instead of the 3:73's is there alot of difrence with the 2?

 

I'm getting the thunder racing kit in a few weeks. You can't really go wrong for the price. If you price out all the parts that kit includes it would cost close to $600 to buy everything separate.



BTW, get 3.73's...

 

I would buy the kit from Thunderaccing. Also is your car an auto or manual?? If it is a manual than I would go with a 3.73. If it is an auto then I would go with a 3.42

 

If it is a '93 M6 then I'd go with 3.73's...'94+ M6 I'd go with 4.10's...

If it is an A4 I wouldn't go with anything less than 3.73's...

 

That is way too much gear if you decide to drive your car everyday.

 

Could you be a little more specific? What's too much gear? I drive every day to and from class and do about 300-400 miles on the weekends with 3.73's on my A4...no problems at all...

How is something too much gear? Are you talking about the supposed loss in mileage or what?

 

The car is a 97 Auto...The only reason i am thinking on #:42.s instead of 3:73's is because they are stronger gears (so i heard) and with a 3000 stall and Drag Radials i want all the protection i can get for my rear. (and i want to have as much traction as posable)

I do however race mostly from a 50% from a roll and 50% from a dead stop.

I dont think there will be alot of difrence in MPG with the 2

 

FacelessZ - How much mileage do you get with your 3.73's. I'm talking MPG.

Thanks!

 

Gears are available in 'hardened' and 'soft'. Whether it is a bigger or smaller ratio doesn't matter...it all depends on how hard you are on them...

Good luck with the 3.42's

 

With a 2800 stall and 3.73's I get 26-27MPG on the highway and like 16-17 around the city...

 

Thanks FacelessZ, that's kickass! That's better than what I get now.

I have a m6 '97 Z. From what I researched here, is it safe for me to assume that my stock gears are 3.42's?

 

I ordered mine from thunderracing. I decided to go with 3.73's because I wanted to waken my car up alot. Also I didn't want to get new gears later down the road if I ordered something lower than 3.73's(unless I get a 12bolt

 

The reason I say it is way too much gear because most people do not like turning that many rpms on the highway. This comment is more toward an auto tranny. I can say that I use to have a 3.73 in my M6 (M28) and 1st gear was pretty useless.

 

 

Like you i had a 2.73 gear and did alot of searching and asking questions what i should go with.
first off, any gear will improve what you have now, and i have to tell you that my 3.42's rock.

i came to this conclusion, if i was going to take the car to the track every weekend and try to sqeeze out every tenth of a second i could, i would go with the 3.73's.

but this going to be my daily driver and i just want to have fun with her. so i went with the 3.42's, no regerts at all

plus like one member said i don't like reving her high for long periods of time, even though it may do no harm its a mental thing.........

hope this helps. what ever gear you get, you be happy.
