Default Anyone want to swap 3.54 gears for 3.36?

A while back I swapped my 6MT 3.54 rear-end gears for 5AT 3.36 rear-end gears. Now I am looking to swap back to the 3.54 gears. Having the taller gears definitely has it's benefits, but I would like to go back to shorter gears.

Benefits to the 3.36 gears include 0-60mph in 2nd gear and not having to shift into 5th gear during a quarter-mile run. It is also a lot more tame driving around town (less shifting!).

It is an easy pumpkin swap. I had it done at ZCG and it took only about an hour and a half. I will split the labor 50-50.

Come on turbo guys, this is the perfect mod for you! Imagine being able to stay in boost longer without having to shift.

Between the two of you, I'm surprised your cars are still on the road!! I think I'm staying N/A, so not me....planning on NISMO LSD, however. Good luck on the swap.
