I have tried different search variables for this question, but didn't find much....
I am entertaining the thought of putting a NV3550 in place of my AW4 in my 98. Details of the actual swap aside, how does a NV3550 and 3.55's do with 31's (I have now)? How about 33's (33x10.5's maybe)?
Some quick math got me this:
3.55 and 31's = 3.09 effective (.46 diff), need 4.07 (.52 diff)
3.07 and 31's = 2.67 effective (.40 diff), need 3.52 (.42 diff)
3.07 and 33's = 2.51 effective (.56 diff)
So, it would seem that this setup would be close to stock with 31's? Since I am ok with the 31/3.55 performance, Would 33/3.07 be close to the same performance?? From what I have read 3.07 wasn't ideal to begin with, so 33's would suck with 3.55's?
Knowing math doesn't equate to reality in this case, I am looking for real world experience.
Thanks,
Mike
