Re: Read end question???

3.08 is probably the best compromise between tire-smoking torque and $4.25/gal gasoline usage. You might be able to go with a 3.42 but in my experience, it didn't add a lot of 'oomph' to the car, certainly not enough to justify the increased fuel usage (went from 19/gal highway to 16/gal highway). You haven't told us what you are driving, so I can't help you as to what you have.
