Re: Old Blue Upgrades.
3.73 will keep you from having to shift into 4th at the traps.

Re: Old Blue Upgrades.
Might as well go 4.56 then. 6500rpm is 110mph in 4th 7000 is 119mph in 4th. And 5th gear gives you 160mph at 7000rpm

I did essentially the same thing last year with Marc. I did the 510 package (but minus the Fidanza and I added Cats, so actually a 486 for the moment). I did Fine Silver with black bolts that were left over from other redos. Looks more stock, although I did add Haibeck lettering. Last year I did the 4.10s--I have had them on my 93 for 13 years and they are the best upgrade you can do for street driving. My opinion: don't spend the money on only 3.73s. Also added Corsa and Hurst short shifter as I had on my 93. There are a number of pictures in my albums section but her are a couple:

Re: Old Blue Upgrades.
I have 3:73's but will probably upgrade to 4:10 one day. I run 19" rear tires so the gear gets reduced. I have driven Phil's car with the 4:10 and loved it

Re: Old Blue Upgrades.
I think I will do the 4.10's if I do gears, I hear they put the most HP down.
