My brother in law has a 2002 Trans Am with an automatic and he wants to get gears installed. What gear should he go with (street car, no track)? Who should install them and how much should it cost? How do you recalibrate the speedo in an F-body without spending $350 on a Power Programmer.

Thanks

Oh, what gears come stock in this car?

I'd do a stall converter before gears. Just IMO but his car will launch a whole lot better with some stall behind it vs a set of 3.73:1/4.10:1s...besides that you'll lose MPG (if that matters to ya).

From my memory there are some 3.23:1 geared cars (otherwise you'll have a 2.73:1) that run in the high 11 sec/low 12 area too. www.ls1tech.com is full of F-bod guys to enlighten ya.

He's gonna lose MPG from the converter too, especially around town. MMT or RPM would be my suggestions, and yes, theres plenty of 3.23 and 3.42 cars running into the 10's.

Well ya, as you'll operate in a higher rev band mostly. Highway cruise is going to be very close as the converter isn't too efficient with more stall. Usually the higher 90% area.
