Message	I'll give you my experience. Actually, the gears don't help spool the turbos faster (in fact, if you were to look at a dyno, they might actually spool a little slower, RPM wise. This is due to the decreased load on the engine.). But what the gears do do (or doo-doo), is increase the torque put to the ground and the engine spends (significantly) less TIME going into it's power band and making boost. This gives the feel of a small turbo car in regards to spool up time, and the car is much quicker in it's responsiveness. Contrary to what alot of people theorized (incorrectly), the bigger the turbo (the more time spent out of the power band with the stock gearing) the more benefit the gears, due to this decreased time (because of the increased torque) spent getting the car into it's powerband. I drove Zo's car after we installed the gears (He has a set up similar to your's) and the feel was amazing. It also allowed him to drop his 60' in the 1/4 mile by a tenth of a second and pick up additional MPH. You should drive someone's car with the 4.10s or the NA diff., I think you'd be surprised. This sounds like a shameless plug, but it is. Take care, Mark P.S. Hopefully Seb or Zo will give you their first hand feeback. I think they are the first guys going to the lower gearing with big turbos and manuals.
Follow Ups	HIGHER gearing for the Z32. This is a question for those - SirpriZ 17:51:07 07/23/05 why would you need gearing higher than 4.10 - fst300zx 18:03:58 07/23/05 NUMERICALLY higher gearing (like 4.10) is referred to as - SirpriZ 18:13:30 07/23/05 I thought numerically lower gearing is called taller gearing - olyar15 18:31:59 07/23/05 That's also another term. Taller gearing=higher gearing, - SirpriZ 18:38:02 07/23/05 You are sooooooooo here for us! - Z1TRUTH 18:05:24 07/23/05 Get your car running!

And why did you install - SirpriZ 18:25:59 07/23/05 Is it really that big of a change? - larryb 19:52:03 07/23/05 I know you were asking Seb, but I have no manners so - SirpriZ 20:23:25 07/23/05 There is noone in Utah with the gears(other than myself) - larryb 20:38:24 07/23/05 Holy crap...those are big turbos! Please get back to me - SirpriZ 21:22:11 07/23/05 He should set it up w/ the stock gearing and - Seb (Specialty-Z) 23:51:37 07/23/05 I absolutely agree! Larryb, if you can, wait to install - SirpriZ 13:56:37 07/24/05 Yeah dude, it "woke" my car up so to speak. - Seb (Specialty-Z) 20:57:03 07/23/05 wanna sell her back to me? - UnrulyZ 22:42:37 07/23/05 Is your car auto or manual? - Gunter_Prien 01:56:33 07/24/05 Manual, and whoever told you that is nuts (n/m) - Seb (Specialty-Z) 04:06:15 07/24/05 Both statements are very incorrect.
