can't feel a difference between 4.77s and 4.10s? how did that happen? i had both 4.77s and a 7psi comptech, awesome combo together. if you're at a cross road then go with the supercharger, if it's not fast enough you can always up the boost. gearing would be more the end piece of a NA car and your driving habits. i ditched my supercharger eventhough the power was great and ended up getting a hardtop and i am fine with just my 4.77s as it's quick enough. my daily driving only let me WOT maybe once or twice a day and i wasn't really getting to beat on the supercharger as much as i wanted. in my situation gears and maybe an occasional nitrous would be an ideal combo. i've played with the idea of nitrous here and there but still haven't pulled the trigger, but if a reputable member with a good kit at a cheap price comes along, i'd entertain the thought...

 

Despite all the responses in this thread (thanks by the way) I ended up going with gears. I already have them just waiting on the isntall. I need to get the rebuild kit for the diff still, I know HTG sells a kit for $150, but he wont answer my calls or respond to my emails. I hope to get a hold of him soon. Either way, it will be right about a grand for everything said and done. Supercharging just can't touch that right now and I used the rest of what I was saving to get a new top since mine was torn. Im excited to driver the car after the install.

 

4.77s + SOS kit = win win win

 

the gears was the right choice, i have the same thing on my car and i love it

 

5th gear with the 4.77s is awesome. It just pullllssssssss

 

it's a win win over stock in the fun factor over stock anyways either supercharged or gears, no real wrong decision, hopefully you love your upcoming 4.77s...

 

1000? You can get 4.77 gears from a KIA SPORTAGE for just 400 http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/08...ve_ratios.html

edit : not to mention you can get the gear, cryo, installation kit, install kit for HTG for 790.

 

^You can buy the gears direct from Kia for $240 shipped. Or could a year ago or so the last time I looked. I would assume his cost is including the installation of the gears into the diff etc.

 

dont forget to install the modifry yellow box speedo recalibrator. your mileage will be going apeshit if you dont.

 

The 1k price is including yellow box (which I did get, its in the picture next to the gears) and diff rebuild kit and install. But yes, I did find the Kia gears themselves for $280. Overall not a bad deal. Since I can't get a hold of HTG, I did some searching and found some good deals on pinion bearings. I ordered those last night and now just need to get the seals and shim kit. I will pick those up from Honda on Wed.
