    I'd say one of the better combos will be a 3.25.

      3.25 is good, but if you do a lot of highway driving, 2.93 is another great choice.

        do you want to accelerate like crazy?

        get a 4.45.

          I want something that will be fun to drive and auto-x but still be able to drive on the highway if I have to. I don't mind having to take it easy on the highway to be able to have fun on regular back roads and stuff.

            I had a 4.10 behind my 2.8 stroker/G260. I'm probably going to throw a 3.25 behind my S50/zf5

              Yeah I calculated my speed to be 86mph at 4k with the 3.25. So that's prob what I'm going to be running. I think I am still going to put each gear in and calculate it still.

                    2.93, 3.07, 3.15 or 3.23 would be my suggestion
                    OBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25
