His questions are well asked... AUTO or STICK... biggy !
I run 33" tires with a 5-sp and 4.56 gears, sometimes I wish I had 4.88's.
There are just a few times I wish I had that little more power to get up the hill and although ET may not change with a gear change from 4.56 to 4.88 when you are going from 3.23's the difference may make a big deal for the doing it.
If I had an auto the 4.56s would have worked ok better because of the automatic and torque multiplication.
If I happen, for some reason go to 35" tire. I'm screwed, 4.88 would have worked with 35" tire and 33" tire but 4.56 and 35"... almost NOT !
As stated above in a few of the posts I did glance over, know how you want to drive the drive, where you might be going in the future, future tire size chance, etc, get the data together and make an educated "guess" !
What differential will you be using ?
