Thanks man!

In our experience with final drives, we actually go the opposite direction. A lot of Manual Trans TT 350Z guys will install automatic 350Z rears in their cars to lower the final drive from a 3.5 to a 3.2. With the lower ratio, the cars actually stay in boost longer, for a higher top end. The N/A road race/auto x 350Z customers usually step up to a 3.9 from Nismo, or Central 20 or whatever. Road race and auto x competition cars benefit from shorter gears, to get from apex to apex quicker. Street turbo Z owners generally like the longer gears better, because the added power from the turbochargers helps the car to REALLY get moving when you are on an open road.
