take the heads off and have them milled to bump up your compression.

All this crap about picking gears always makes me laugh. Unless you change your rear gear drastically, IN MY OPINION you are wasting your money. I went from 3.42 to 4.11, and yes I did notice a difference, but it wasn't nearly what I was expecting. The MPG "decrease" was negligible to say the least.

My thoughts on mpg concerns... If you're on this site, and you're honestly complaining about mpg, then you're on the wrong damn forum. I'm not saying you can't have performance without having decent mpg, but honestly you're here because you want to go fast, so do it and stop being a bitch about it.
Honestly I agree. When I went fro 3.42's to 3.90's, it made a difference, not as much as I expected, lost a bit of mpg, but picked it back up +some with the addition of the cam. I always wished after the fact that I had just manned up and went with the 4.10's

Nope. It works fine for me. I suppose I could get some better track times with more stall, but I have plenty of power down low to break the tires loose and I don't think I would like having a bigger stall for daily driving anyway.

I'd say your track times would drop a lot with more gear and a looser converter


Do you have any track times with your current setup?

yup bumping the compression for big cams is nothing new. Cam companies have been telling people that since the 60's
