you'll want the 3.91s, although I think the shorter gearing will suit the S54 pretty well.

80mph at 4K RPM gets old fast.
3.64s would be ideal, but I fear they might be too slouchy for the setup.

I have too much stuff going on- need to prioritize and make a concrete list of stuff to do, that way it can actually get accomplished.
1-Fix Rear Toe (Dungeon Motorsports camber/toe kit), install trailing arm and subframe bushings, rear sway, ebrake cables
2-Front GC Camber Plates
3-Paint IX Weaves
4-Buy 225/45 RS3s
5-Alignment
6-Mechanical (HG, Studs, TBelt, WP, IM, VC, Oil Cooler, Shifter)
7-Rust Repair (Sunroof Drains, Battery Box, Rad Support @Copperhead Refinishing)
8-Paint/Install Flares
9-Drive
Had a little photo-op with the Evo before she goes to a new home. Figured you guys may enjoy even though it's 'JDM af' and not German.

The long gears I want, but it's the S54 vs turbo that I can't make my mind up about. I've turbo'd a lot of stuff, but the n/a swap route intrigues me.
Who knows, I'm sure once the Evo is gone I will want another turbo car in the stable.

My stroker iX has 3.64s. I may plan to turbo it but should be able to give you some more information on the gearing. It will be NA with MSII first though.;D318iS Track Rat :nice: www.drive4corners.com

No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

Per our deal he didn't want the car tuned, so now that he isn't buying it I had to get it done. Kind of glad I did, now I can rip in the mean time before it goes.
