Default Journey to 4.36 Gears

Well I plan on swapping these gears into my Auto HR, gears and bushings just got here through fedex. Just wanted to get some insight or opinions from people who have these in their car or maybe 4.08 gears in an auto car.

Idk why not? Tried looking around but I didn't find anything on anyone running 4.36 gears so I figured I'd be one of the few to try it.

But honestly I don't know why it would be a bad idea ( I'm not a car expert) but from what I have read gears basically multiplies your TQ? If that's the case I don't see how too much TQ would be bad other than dealing with traction issues and I'm sure slicks or drag radials would help with that. There are cars with 700+hp/TQ that hook. Please correct me if I'm wrong like I said I honestly don't know too much about this still learning.

awesome sounds good. A track vid would be good. Or even a review of the dif between 4.36 gears and stock gearing.

cruising at 5000 rpms at 50mph in 5th gear will be pretty sweet.
