ive ran 3.73's behind the auto, and it stll felt like stock gearing
but with 4.11's it felt alot zippier around town, the change was great |

yeah, but im thinking 3.7's still and then really considering a manual conversion!!

Converting to manual is like $2000 and really not worth it, that money gets you the start of a turbo kit. (manifold, turbo and intercooler)
edit: I thought manual falcons would be cool, until I drove manual falcons. HUGE let down.

manual falcons go twice as hard as the auto equivalant, but they are all clunky to drive and nowhere near as smooth
i had my EF converted to manual, and went back to auto 12 months later |

Manual conversion was worth it when you had old auto's like top loaders or C4's. The modern 4, 5 and six speed trannys are so good that who wants to be changing gears in city peak hour traffic.
