Dan...where did you get the Pro 5 shift kit? Also which rear gear ratio do recommend?

[Dan Semko]

That's it. I have a 3.73 in one car and a 3.54 in the other.
I like the low cruising range on the 3.54, very user friendly and it only turns 3100 rpms at 75 in 5th.

JoeA,
Congratulations!

All,
For those of you who went with a 5-speed in your ERA, why did you choose that over the Richmond Gear (or the other way 'round)?

Does the Pro 5.0 shift kit look "unoriginal"?

...to answer my own question...NO. It is not the handle that is replaced.

You can't tell the difference.

Mike,

What do you mean by cut the hood? What is involved in doing that? I plan to run a 2x4 on my ERA.

[ERA 626]

The rear air cleaner will hit the rim part (frame) of the hood.
I was able to cut mine with a dremmell but I wish I could have had it done prior to paint. I will take a photo when I can.

Anyone running 3.11 or 3.07 with their TKOII? Bob at ERA was recommending these.
