Left_Ya_Shook Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 can someone please explain to me the differences in these two gear setups? Also which one is preferred? Thanks, Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011 P8J Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Very little in reality. In theory the 3.73 will give you better 0-60 or 1/4 mile performance that is of course if you can get the car to hook up. The SVT only comes in 3.73s. The 3.55 are not an option.

ponyboy96 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 3.73's will give you better acceleration, but will cost you some MPGs. With the weight of these cars, 3.73's would be preferred IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure a base GT500 is 3.55, and one with the performance package gets the 3.73. Someone correct me if Im wrong, pretty sure thats one of the reasons I sprung extra for the package.

Left_Ya_Shook Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Okay i see why i thought i was seeing so many 3.55s i was looking in the standard info on the tag not the optional. So how big of a difference is the SVT package from the 07-09 gt500. My brother has a 2010 and the thing i miss when riding in his is the supercharger whine. Do they bring back any of the S/C whined?

Had 3.55's on my '10 and have 3.73's on my '11. Actually I cannot tell much difference attributed to the gear change, but more as a result of the stiffer suspension and increased traction(stickier tires) on the '11. I have the SVT package and the SC whine is about the same on the '10 and '11. (too quiet for me). Hope that helps! -HAWKBARR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMG Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 You guys may already be aware of this but on the 10-11 you need to replace the intake resonator(muffler) with either the FRPP resonator eliminator (like 58.00)or an aftermarket CAI tube and the whine comes back.

10random Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 There is zero difference between the 3.55 and a 3.73 SVT setup. This was done to counter the one inch taller wheel/tire combo. The resonator delete makes little difference in whine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resonator delete makes little difference in whine as well. To say it is zero would be incorrect but the difference is offset due to the larger tire size correct. Someone did the exact math in an earlier thread and the SVT Package had a slight improvement over the Non-SVT with 3.55 gearing. The difference is so small that I doubt anyone could notice it.

That is correct I could have said ~zero, but I was just trying to get the point across that it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried removing the muffler from inside the tube and found no disernable difference in the wine. I just put it back and may purchase the muffler delete.

I didn't notice much difference with a resonator delete, but the Airraid filter made a decent change in volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be zero depending on tread depth and air pressure its that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corepuncher Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hi all. I have a TVS and 2.59" pulley on my 2011...and it's just crazy. 1st gear has basically been rendered useless, and I can't wait to get out of it. As soon as I go 10 feet, my RPM's are already too high, and the engine always seems like it is "racing". (Of course with so much power, I have no hope of ever hooking up anyway) I thought maybe changing the rear gear ratio would help keep the RPM's down and increase gas mileage. Does anyone know how low of a gear ratio I would need to go in order to make a difference? I have 3.73 now, but not sure 3.55 would make much difference. What is the lowest I can even go? I'm not too experienced in this. Would it be easier to change 1st gear only? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushinator Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I think the '13's come with 3.31 gears. If I were to change mine, that's what I'd go with. Too many other things to buy on my list ahead of gears though. Tires are next for me. A 305 drag radial would definitely help with your traction issues corepuncher.
