Im thinking of getting 3.73's. what is a good price for the gears and what is a good price for the labor to install them? and will I then beat out a wrx?

 

has anyone ever paid for a gear to be installed

 

207 from summit for the richmonds and the ratech install kit. i paid 40 bucks ta have them installed, but i had a friend do it. but over all i was unimpressed with my gains in the 1/4 mile. slighty over .5, yer .5 mph and the whopping .01 et decrease. but who knows.

 

You can beat a wrx right now...I know I have and I'm still stock..haven't raced the new STI though.

 

how long did it take for your friend to install them and is it true that they realy slam you into your seat, and is the punch only from standing still or will it help out at any speed any

 

for some reason that little ugly car scares me, car-stats.com says it is faster stock than us

 

i would get some Motive 3.73's from www.thuderracing.com

i have them and they are WAY quiter than the richmonds i used to have. expect to pay anywhere between $175-$350 for install.

 

is there a problem with the computer regarding speedomiter or anything else after changing gears

 

You can buy a Hypertech Power Programmer to calibrate your speedo and do a few more things to your car. SLP also makes a speedo calibration module. BTW... Don't be afraid af the WRX, he he has to do everything just right to jump you.

 

the reason richmonds are louser is because of the pitch of the teeth on the ring and pinion gears. they are a tad different thatn other brands, the guy i had do my install said that he had called them about noise b4 and they said they changed the pitch to make the ring and pinion gears stronger, so thats why they whine. i guess its the price to pay. it only took about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs ta do the whole thing. and it helps EVERYWHERE in the rpm band. off the line ya spin, spin, spin. up top you really feel the pull, expecially around 3000 rpm. at least thats the way it is in my car. thats why im kinda confused about my gains, if thats what you wanna call them, in the 1/4.
