Looking for 4.08 final drive gears
Well this winter I plan on building up a head
But right now I'd like to simply get faster gearing in my 350z, I really hate how 1st 2nd and 3rd wind out a LOT. Just watching video clips with simple "0-100 runs" the car SEEMS so slow due to how long it takes to rev those gears.
Anyway I've seriously searched for hours last night trying all types of combinations to find these gears, I did find one site selling them, but the site didn't seem very reputable.
So, if anyone could either direct me to a good 350z aftermarket site (like forged performance - but they don't have the gear), I'd really appreciate it.

If you get all the parts it's a 5 hour job and your car is in and out of the shop.
Thanks a lot for the help, I appreciate it
