Default 3.54s

Ok.I figure if Im going to spend close to$1500 on a gear swap,I want 3.54s instead of the 3.07s.Now two questions,will I need wider tires than the 275 falkens I have now? Will my car run out of breath with the 3.54s?I have some bolt-ons.Cold air intake,52mm tb,chip,#24 accel inj and fp regulator.No cam or head work yet.Thanks.Oh,I currently have 2.59s now.

I assume you currently have a D36. Just go buy a D44 and related gear and get the 3:45's.

with the auto trans in the late c4's 3.07's is all you need. As someone has saido n here before that trans with 3.07's feels and is the performance of 3.73 really.

my 95 vert stock ran 13.2 and my friend has a stock 94 manual and I ripped him up pretty bad. He has always had a manual tranny car so it wasn';t him not being a good driver he did a decent time think it was like a 13.7.
