I would recommend The GT Guy, LLC or Shadowman! You won't be disappointed with either - they're the best!I was wondering who does installs of the 3:90 gear. I live in Nebraska so I am sure I will have to travel, I am fine with that I just want it done right.
Thanks

Not to be a downer here, but, with 3:90 gears isn't the Tire/Traction issue exaggerated when launched? Of course with R Tires that will not be the case.
Does anyone know how much it hurts the top end?

Would this gear set help with the low rpm sluggishness a twin turbo has without robbing too much top speed?

From our experience it all depends on how you drive the car. Realistically it's easy to do a nice smokey burn out with the factory 3:3 ratio. With the 3.9 it does become a little bit easier but the car definitely does NOT become a smoke machine in first and second gears. I find the car to be very enjoyable to drive with the 3.9's. Acceleration from a dead stop is very easy, acceleration from a rolling start is much better, now I actually get to shift gears when going for "spirited drives." In my heavily biased opinion, the 3.9 gears are the perfect gearset for these cars.
If our car was still here I'd invite you down to the shop to go for a ride so you could see for yourself how easy it is to drive with the 3.9's. Unfortunately we won't be able to do that since our car is not at the shop anymore.
Since that can't happen, I'd be happy to install the gears in your car and you can see first hand how great the new ratio is...was that subtle enough??? haha.
P.S.- I have sent you a PM regarding a previous conversation we had from awhile ago...
Thanks Kyle. I'm really considering the 3.90 gears but would like to drive one equipped with a Whipple first. I'll give you a call.
