Stock gears are 4.10. If your going turbo I would leave the stock gears. For supercharger gears could be a nice addition. Some poeple still say they prefer stock gears with a sc, but if I go sc I will def keep my 4.77 gears to help out down low in the rpms where the supercharger does not assist.

I have a PuddyBuilt 4.56 (reinforced/solidsleeve) and a Kraftwerks SC. I feel it's a good match. The gears are short and I redline rather quickly but I was looking for a lot of "zip-on-demand." At somepoint I am going to get the redline shift indicator from Modifry. Mine's a DD and I have the great commute to work.

The gears are good but it will really depend on what your going with, SC or TURBO. I think I would like to change to the 4.44. WIth the turbo and the 4.77 you don't really get enough time to load the turbo in 1-2. You also need to consider what what HP you are shooting for. I think gears work with cars around the 300hp level. Not sure how much of an addition they make over the 400hp level.

My 4.57's really help from a dig. They were nice while N/A but simply awesome while boosted at 400+.
