For those who do have the 3S-GTE swap, couple of questions:
First, for those with the stock GT tranny, how are you finding the gearing and relative ability of the tranny to handle the power. Second, for those with the E153 tranny, how is it's gearing compared to a stock GT's??? More or less RPM's at highway speed?? Better (shorter) gearing off the line or taller gearing?? Does anyone have a breakdown of the specific gears ratio for each tranny?? Thanks!! (I did a search but came up empty on this one) --------------------  |

It does depend on the turbo though. I have a 14b on the car right now, and its hard not to boost on the freeware. Just trying to maintain a constant speed though really small hills makes over 5 psi of boost - and I do mean small hills (ski slope in Michigan wouldn't compare to the bunny hills in other states).
