      If you want better acceleration and shitty highway fuel mileage I would go 2.93 if you want it the other way around I would go 4.10

          Umm, you've got things backwards here. A 2.93 would be ultra-long gearing for a 325i. It will give terrible acceleration but better highway mileage.

          I like the stock ratio 3.73 for a M20B25 car.

            as said before. backward info.

            i tend to lean towards the 4.1 i like the acceleration it gives me.
            ive always used 4.1 in all my cars. to me the economy isnt that bad on it. sure the revs are abit higher. but its making more power at the higher revs. so under cruising you dont need as much throttle to maintain a highway cruising speed. so you have less gas going in.

                higher the number the faster the accel basically.
