    I wouldn't be going 3.9's in an auto though. You will hate it! I have 3.46's and they are a little too tall, have spoken to a few diff shops and the general feedback is that 3.73 is the best all round ratio for a street/strip car.

    But then again, it depends on if you want to retain what little drive ability you have left lol

    Every set up is different. A bloke I know has a wh with 3.73 gears, smaller cam than mine (228/230 @112), intake, tune and built auto with 3500 convertor and his sits @2000 on the highway at 100. But he said his torque convertor locks up after 90. So it drives like a normal car with gears.

    Mine sits on 2250rpm @110 with 3.46's and a built auto with 3000 convertor. But my torque convertor doesnt lock up, so my convertor can flare a little so it can sit at a higher rpm n not be going any quicker lol

    Basically my point is, just because your mates drives good with 3.73's, doesn't mean yours will with 3.9's. Every setup is different man

    Looks good on the 18's, should keep them or get them powdercoated black.
