I don't mean to hate but I want to point out that regearing ONLY for gas savings isn't that great of a deal... obviously regearing has other advantages but if costs you $2000 to go from 16mpg to 20mpg it will take over 45,000 miles before that mod "pays for itself"...

So regear for the performance not to save money

Not to trash thread,but frankly my re-gear paid for itself when it was done.Got back my mid range power,with lots of low end torque.Fuel increase due to Flash-paq
