V6 Gears

OK gears are one thing I don't know much about, so what size would I be looking for to gain so torque off the line, that's where Blue is really lacking.

If you want all around performance go with a 3.73. If your looking for even more power but less top end go with a 4.10. Its all what you want. You could still cruise at 80mph with 4.10`s with no problems but you wouldnt want to take a long trip at that speed with 4.10`s. If you do alot of highway go with 3.73`s.

I've had my 4.10s for about 66K miles now with never any issues, be it mechanical or personal. I've driven to and from Mason Dixon numerous times which is 218 miles and even drove to Toledo, OH which was 1036 miles round trip! Being the S197 auto is a 5 speed, don't fear the gear!
