Thread: MFactory 4.785 Final Drive Gears

Above quoted for 100% truth

No highway is really not as bad as you guys make it out to be. With stock size tire 3k is 55 and 3.8 is 70mph and that's with a digital Rachel as you guys know the Factory tach is not to accurate

Thats the same as what mine runs at to .

Didnt see a noticable decrease in mpg.

Thats not bad at all.

This will be my next mod, once shes 100%.

Whats your mpg on the high way with this gear and e85 ?

Stratton.

Don't know for sure. Haven't had a chance to check.

Sorry to say but it does get annoying to travel more than an hour on a highway like this... 70mph is slow and your ears are already full of it with a 3 inch exhaust w/o resonator. 90mph and you are struggling to keep out of VVL in 5th gear. This would be great if we had 6th gear!

It is a great mod, but people who are more worried about comfort than performance on their daily drivers should NOT do this (same people that think they should install a 2.5" exhaust instead of a 3" because of the noise and S3 cams instead of C3 because of the idle, and that is like 85% of "forumers").

I don't know how guys cant handle the noise. I am running a straight 3'' from the header. When I had the muffler delete it was loud as all hell but thats because I have the Kelfords. When it was on stock cams it wasn't bad at all. I welded on a muffler and now its not bad at all even with the Kelfords cruising at 3500-4K. I drive the car on a weekly basis from NY to CT. Its livable.

I need to get myself this FD. I doubt I can this season but once I finish classes next year it will be a definite.

Have Mine fitted now and Noticed very little difference in Fuel MPG

ANd Have a quite exhuast so Not to bothered on noise

Was a Decent mod, still the same rev drop from 1st to 2nd tho

Sure, people like you who don't mind MUST get this FD just as I did . I just saying it's not for everyone.

are these still available??
