Looks like a multiple-choice answer to me. Exactly what do you need for a 370Z?

Also, with you all the way that a 3.90 gear would be a waste of time and money. On a F-body I went from a 3.42 to a 3.73 and it did basically nothing.

My rev limit is set @ 8000 rpm and with 4.08 gears top speed in each gear is:

1 41mph
2 67mph
3 95mph
4 122mph
5 155mph
6 195mph

Something just a tad steeper might be even better.

Answered my own question. Amazing what happens when you read something.

What about gear noise? Typically higher gears are noisier.

Sold.... Credit card order sent in.

Was just about to order a set of sway bars and saw the thread. I'll get the sway bars a little later......gears make ya go faster.

Nice to see some real mods comming down the line. Nice answers to the questions!

I'm not Russell, nor is there anyone here by that name, sorry - I am Adam, our other employee on this board is Kwame

I have not spent time looking up the 370Z bearings just yet, but we'll get those listed in the next week or so once I get them organized and pricing sorted.

Noise wise, nothing to worry about at all - it's all in the install. Get the lash set correctly, and you'll be good to go
