What Final Drive is everyone using?

We are running a 230whp and 160lbs tq. b20/vtec in a crx that weighed in at 1450lbs with a d-series. The Tranny currently has a stock final drive. I would like to upgrade to a 4.785 or higher. Is it worth it? Anyone have a difference in timeslips or experience with this? Thanks.

Re: (vteczone)

id definitely say u need some 24s and the 4.78FD.

when i switched to my FD i didnt notice any difference. everything remained the same. just shifts came quicker. trap speeds, etc remained the same. i had the 22s pretty tapped out though.
