I just hope the trims are not waaay off to cause a cel which mean I will have to probably reinstall my AEM and wait for an update. I will definitely let you all know how it went

gzarbek009, I been holding off on lower gears for almost a year and finally I'm having my lingenfelter 3.91's installed this saturday. The only thing that I'm worried about is my 1st gear. I am running stock 3.27 and with my current power level I already hate using my 1st gear. It's so fast and so powerful where it make shifting into 2nd hard as it is. So I always try to avoid it even with the stock gear. I'm about to find out if it was all worth it tho.
For daily normal driving you wont be using 1st any more. Starting at 2nd will be perfect at 3.91s. For me I can start from 2nd easily as it is (Don't really do it as much because I like the torque starting from 1st ). You will have such a big grin on your face once you gun you car after the install haha. What tires are you running? Traction will be your next problem that will need to be tackled if you want to get into the 12s Which I am almost positive you can do with light wheels and a set of good tires.
