i have a 4.6 with stock gears and 35's
to me it seems faster(which i know is impossible) but i guess what im trying to say is the stock gears work just fine for me. Before it seemed to rev out way to fast and now it feels like a truck.

IMO if youve got the money regear, its well worth it, what gears do you have now? im guessin 3.55, youll notice a power loss with 20's and 35's i would go to at least 4.10's but it will work if its just a mall cruiser but if youre goin to wheel it, its not even a question if you need to its a must
