Default Gear Help?
Alright I have been contemplating getting some different gears. I have heard that the 4:10's have the best acceleration but do not have the best top end. I also realize that there are other gears out there as well. What I need to know is the different gears that are avaible for my 03 z and what each gear is best for. How much do they cost, which vendor sells them, how much aproximate cost for labor to install them. Thanks a lot, im sure everyone will have some helpfull suggestions.

You'll need to input your tire size and transmission gear ratio's.
