Ratio by far is the best bang. I went from a 2.73 to a 3.42 and it was like a difference between day and night. The exhaust system on the C5 is pretty damm good already. Spend the money on engine mods, intake, cam, heads, rear end, etc. and do the headers last. Anything from the cats back would be my first move.

How expensive is a complete gear install when moving from 3.15 to 3.42? Include cost of parts and labor please.
