Gear Ratio
I have a stock 95 LT1 A4, How do I find out what my gear ratio is? I just looked on the inside of the console storage compartment lid, no sticker there? http://www.corvettebuyers.com/c4vettes/ said I should look for some kind of stick connected to my gas-tank, I dont know what the hell that means... So if no-one can help i'll have to get ahold of the N.C.M for a Build Sheet i guess..Reason being, I am starting to ponder haveing it changed to 3.73 instead of haveing a bunch of internal motor mods done.....More torq is better RIGHT, because I dont care if I can go over 150mph

gears
there should be a rpo codes look under console lid /storage lids if its not there dont know but I can tell you it does not have 3.73. gears so if you want to change you probally are safe to do if at 60/65 mph in o/d if your tach is below 2000 you probally have 2.59 or next one higher I just put 3.54 in my 90 big difference from 3.07 not mind blowing but a nice gain in accer. hope this helps geo

Yep, that's the correct location for a `95.GM1 = 2.59
G44 = 3.07

The guys ahead of me are correct, you probably have 2.59's, but if you change to 3.45's, even if you remain stock, it is like night and day.. Probably a 1/2 second or better drop in 1/4m times..
