Especially driving them as much as I do, 10,000 plus miles a year. And in most cases these days many don't even mess with the 4 speeds anymore and go right to a 5 speed to enjoy highway cruising as well. This opens up both ends of the spectrum. Now you can have your first gear, and even better gear multiplication through the other gears if you setup a proper rear gear, and still go to sleep on the highway. It's a win win.
The 3.27 first gear with a 3.08 rear sounds like a good combo but yes not what he’s asking about. If someone can afford it though the tkx would be my choice. What are you going to spend on a nice m20?

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.
