Any one have the numbers on these 2 final drive gears. The search is broken. Thanks.

Cruising at 80 with 4.44s will be around 4650 rpms
Crusiing at 80 with 4.77s will be around 5000 rpms

I've had both gear setups. I don't have any timed quarter mile runs, but there is as big a difference from switching from stock to 4.44s, as there was switcing from 4.44s to 4.77s. I had the 4.44s for one year and was a bit let down from the start. Sure they were a nice little improvement over stock, but nothing spectacular.

The 4.77's were night and day and made the car a whole lot more exciting for around town driving. If you commute daily on the highway for long trips then probably the 4.57s are the better choice. If you are going S/C probably the 4.44s or 4.57s would be better. But, as I've mentioned b/f if basically stock, mostly driving under 100 or if cruising under 80, or racing up to the 120 range, I think the 4.77s are the best bang for the buck.

Go to a meet, drive in other's cars and decide for yourself.
