    Chase from ECGS was saying he's going to do a tech write up to help people choose more wisely.

    But I think you'd be looking at 4.56 or 4.88, depending on what side you want to error on. Depends on how you drive too. Since your probably not going to be Crawling much in a PR, it comes down do you want better acceleration or better cruising at freeway speeds. This is just stuff I've learned from research. I don't have any 1st hand experience though.

    @Large so if you had a supercharger with the URD pulley and full URD specU exhaust and headers, would you still say that 4.56 is not enough? Knowing that 35's would be the biggest that would be on it and were on 33's now. Also I tow. lol I am having a hard time deciding between 4.56 and 4.88. I wouldn't mind the extra low of 4.88. But I want the strength of the 4.56 and still want to drive 80 when I want and not go deaf. But then want ok mpg's if I do go slow. At least better than the 11 I am getting now if I only go 65.

    Hey Warren, Just tell me what your interested in(Ratio, Front, Back, Lockers, Install kit). I'll put your name down on the OP. ECGS will give us info sometime in the next few days. Then we just need to pick a weekend to take advantage of the GB.

    Cool, So you're getting the compressor through the GB but having ECGS do the install for you? Just curious, are you gonna go to their shop to get the work done since you're not to far away?

    I talked with Chase from ECGS this morning. Because ECGS is cutting us really good prices on the gears there's a few things we can do to help.
    1. Read the Tech Write up coming this week. It'll help you figure out what you'll need.
    2. If have questions, ask via this thread, PM a knowledgable person, Email ECGS and last resort, calling ECGS. If we all call ECGS with the same question right when the GB starts, it's a waste of their time.
    3. Once the GB starts, make your order via their website, instead of calling in.

    It's also time We figure out what weekend we want this event to happen.
    • August 13-16
    • August 20-23
    • August 27-30
