Re: What is the best combo (c5 devil)
I think what you are proposing is a good solution. The TC is a little higher than what Jayson at MTI recommends, but it still sounds reasonable. I'm going with 3.42's and a 2600 TC in the near future.

Before we choose a gear setup/converter for a customer we want to know how much hp the customer plans on adding in the future and how will the car be used .. street/track both.. ?? :seeya

Re: What is the best combo (CHRIS NJ C5)
It will be used mainly in the street...I do not really car much for HP....The minut i can get 11.5 in the 1/4 mile....i will be happy.....after the TC & gear
I might add either a 100shot wet or a HC .....That all depends on money..so if in a month or 2 i can come up with 5k i will do the HC if not then i well do the 100 shot.....Thanx for the help
