Temperature problem with gears?
Guy's I'm considering installing 4:57 gears in my car. Should i be concerned with overheating at all?

Sorry-my post may be confusing. I meant would there be any problems with the engine overheating due to the 4:57 gear ratio?

No. Your engine rpm will be 11.5% higher at any given road speed in the same gear. For around town, you may simply find it more comfortable to drive in one higher gear than you normally would. For highway cruising, 11.5% would only represent approx. 500 rpm more (70 mph or so). This is quite inconsequential as far as the engine cooling system goes.

Thanks Viper!
