Should I Bother With 7at Gear Ratio's when FI?

Changing the ratios is a bad idea traction wise. I went 3.69 and the traction was scarce. The money would be better spent on a new diff. If you can't

Changing the ratios is a bad idea traction wise. I went 3.69 and the traction was scarce. The money would be better spent on a new diff. If you can't use the traction availible with stock gearing it makes better sense/cents to fix the traction problem first. If I had'nt experienced it N/A I would'nt have anything to say but having been there and being freshly boosted with a 6MT I'd say don't do it. Personally my next mod will be an OS Geiken or Wavetrac rear diff as soon as possible. I've heard at least one scary story about boost and VLSD going off into insurance adjuster land.
