3.5 gear has worked well (with a bunch of turbo cars) as the Engines make so much torque at fairly low engine rpm. Higher load on the engine and the turbos work that much better.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
