We know that you will like the 4.88's on the track...let us know how you think it has changed the daily driving...
I said that about my 4.56's, and I'm sure your 4.88's are similar.:rock:mauiSRT/10 said:
Sounds as if they installed them correctly - that's always nice too. Glad to hear that worked out for you.
Now go burn up a tankfull so you can have some real fun!!

Congrats! Keep us posted on your thoughts after you get them broken in...since everyone likes the 4:88s so well, I've been wondering what 5:13s (or whatever the next step is) would be like...

From what I've gathered 5.13 would offer no more benefits unless you go with slicks in the rear at the track.
The effect of 5.13's would be the same with 4.88 gears on stock tires & wheels. If I am wrong someone please clarify.

Well I had family in over the weekend so not much driving unfortinatly. I have put 100 miles on her since the install.
Things I have noticed. I filled up with gas and cleared the overhead computor. It was reading 8.2 around town, lots of stoplights. Drove to the other side tonight (closest thing to highway style) and computor went up to 12.5 or so. I was driving real easy. In fifth and sixth as much as possible. MPG seems down about 2 mpg at this point. Dont know if thats normal or what, just an observation.
I also noticed that even with a slight amount of gas at take off (after the clutch is out) the rear tires want to spin a little. Hmmm, whats this mean when I can actually get on the gas?
:burnout: :rock: So far it feels great. Lots of shifting but thats ok. I imagine when I can get on it, its gonna scream and feel way lighter.

I know it doesn't mean squat compared to where you live, but I took a 80 mile trip (each way) to the track earlier this year and I managed almost 16mpg - at 70-75mph most of the way.
I would think your mpg would at least stay the same, if not improve. IF you can control yourself!:laugh: :aetsch: :rofl: Yeah right...
