Hi everyone, first time post here. I just did my first mods to my 92 limited edition convertible, and as you all know, it's really addicting. I've got 1 5/8" JBA nickel plated unequal headers followed by high flow cats, x pipe, and race magnum mufflers. Up front there's just a cone K&N and 13 degree timing, no other changes. I would eventually like to go with a Kenne Bell twin screw supercharger, as it generates boost right off idle. I also am not a huge racer, I just like a lot of torque around town. What would be a good gear set to go to now, with the blower added on later down the road? I've currently got stock 3.08's and they seem too tall. My initial thinking is to go with 3.73's, but will this be revving the RPM's too high, particularly when I go blower later on? Anyone out there with experience between the 3.55 and 3.73? Is the 3.55 enough to make a noticeable difference? Thanks in advance.
