VHR + FD Gear Ratio upgrades - 3.9 and 4.08

the car pulls HARD in second, like ridiculously hard... gears come and go so much faster now though, its noticable... I am more likely to throw 305s/275s up front now,

the car pulls HARD in second, like ridiculously hard... gears come and go so much faster now though, its noticable...

I am more likely to throw 305s/275s up front now, as I think the added weight and rubber would help... first gear is hard to use now in sub 50 degree weather. Id say of anything I have done, this is the most obvious enhancement.

but this gear whine has me a bit bummed... I need to go back to the shop and see what the deal is with the whine, and how it could be fixed.. From what I understand I should not have noise like I do.. I have a short video going 75-80 on the highway... you can clearly hear it in the video, if anyone cares to hear it, PM me.
