[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433680, member: 18789"] Gears are hands down the best mod you can do in my mind. You can keep adding power all you want but if the output is choked at the axles, more power doesn't do all that much. On the other hand, the gears will allow you to unleash the power on practically anything which is great and on a powerful engine, just amazing. I actually regeared my truck 2 days ago. 6 speed manny, 31.5" stock tires, went from 3.692 to 4.56. Holy cow, so much better. People swear I'm crazy to run 4.56 on stock tires, but I know better. It is awesome to say the least. Highway cruising 70 at 2700 rpm. And it has 260hp/280tq, so it's not like it's a slouch to begin with. Still, it likes gears. Getting about 18 mpg on the hwy, which is about the same as it got stock at 2100 rpm. Except now I don't have to downshift when a butterfly hits the windshield. [/QUOTE]
