Hey guys, need some opinions? Current setup in the works for my tired old
4.8 is........

a fresh 5.3
XR265HR(212/218 .522/.529 114)
stock manifolds and Y for now
basic bolt-ons
Trailblazer stall

and either....Maggie M112 and Longtubes/ORY.....or Turbo(front or Rear)

my question is should i go 3.73s or 4.10s have both already on a shelf. And this will be with 29" tires.

 

if you go with turbo you'll want taller gearing than if with a supercharger. Make up your mind on the FI first, worry about gearing later.

 

Thanks Trever1...looking at that sig makes me want a MAGGIE!!
which is what im leaning toward...but finding one used in good condition will be the factor when i get my funds back up.

 

just cuz I have a hard time remembering. Taller is going to mean moe top end right? Like a 3.73 or .42 compared to a 4.11 or 4.30+.

Cuz I always thoughgt you would want a 3.73 over the 4.11's so the turbo has time to build up boost.
Just have a hard time rmembering which is "Taller" and which is not.

 

you're thinking correct.

 

thanks

 

Phew...always confuses me too
