Snake, ERA535 gave a pretty good list of gear ratios to use. It all depends on what you want to accomplish. If you're running around the streets and want good gas mileage, stick with a moderately higher gear (lower number) like a 3.27. If you're running stoplight to stoplight constantly, you'll wanna go low...4.11, 4.30, etc. A good all-around gear is a 3.55 or 3.73. What kind of rearend are you using? Jag(Dana 44), 8.8", 9", 10-bolt Chevy? The reason I asked ERA535 that is because I'm looking into buying the Unique kit. I'm used to fooling with 8.8" Fords, and I know what ratios are available there...however I'm not familiar with a Dana 44. I plan to go with a 3.73 in my Cobra.

Hope this helps,

Brent
