Re: gearing

I bet with the t5 you won't need to swap the rear end. I have a 5 speed in my C20 stock 4:56 rear, 1st is super low and 5th spins about 2600 @80mph. In my Apache I have stock 3:90 rear and 700r4 and it also does great in town or on the freeway. See what rear you have, a 3:73 is going to be a great all around gear. Keep in mind your tire size will affect everything as well. You can Google, tire, rear end, rpm, mph calculator and see the difference.
