I have thee automatic and atm no plans going Fi will enjoy the car as it is without the worry of extra maintenance that you get with Fi, yeah that's what I heard. Noise. I was going to get it but saw this. Just not sure if how loud.
what about WP 4.67

What transmission do you have? MT or AT? Do you plan to stay NA or go FI in the future? People I know who used the Mfactory FD usually complain of the gear noise from the diff. It seems the gears are cut differently than the Toyota/cusco gears, which sounds like you're driving in reverse all the time. Other than that, the Mfactory 4.88 is a great NA upgrade, more so in an AT car.

Final drive is a waste of money if you are turbo/super charged.
I would disagree. It all depends on how much power you make. I'm supercharged and am not disappointed with my gearing. That being said, refer back to my last post, with more power, yes it will lose it's benefits that it has with a lower powered car, but that doesn't mean it's a waste if you do go FI. Just depends on how much power you put down and how you drive your car.

No extra noise from Weir Performance. You can not go wrong with his ring and pinion gear sets.

No noise at all from my Weir 4.88s.

Same here. 4.56 gearing on a vortech for an AT is great. The vortech gets max boost at redline, so with the shorter gearing I get to max boost a little quicker. I'm sure it's different with high boost turbos though.

Can anyone find me a graph of RPM vs. MPH for the Cusco 4.56, I've been looking for about 2 hours to find one that wasn't taken with a potato.

I think if maybe going super charger 4.56 is better but if staying na might as well go 4.67 right?

Have you not been reading the comments people are posting? Cusco is overpriced rebranded Toyota sh*t. Weir Performance prices can't be beat. To me it seems a no brainer. But for whatever reason you seem to not be convinced. Go with Cusco if you like the feeling of being ripped off. It's your money.

Can anybody tell me where to get the Weir Performance 4.67 from? I have looked at their web site and cannot see it listed. I have also done a quick Google search and nothing comes up.
Can someone help?
