16-44 gives you a lil more length on a stock arm.

17/46 is good for about 155 on the stock rev limiter, 163 with the extended ecu.

I'd rock 16/44....w/the extended ecu you should still be fine with wringing it out in 4th 8) ... + the max wheelbase on stock chain/arm.

17/45 fits fine too, but for a drag race 16/44 has more grunt and more wheelbase.

Is there much difference between 16/44 and 17/45.

Are these setups streetable?

Im running 17/46 but just ordered a 45t in preparation for the track. Will this make a huge difference on the street?

Hard for many people to feel 1 tooth difference in the back. Not much difference between 16/44 and 17/46...you're talking about 1/2 a tooth. Not a BIG difference in acceleration or top speed but for stock wheelbase it works great. Not sure if 15/44 would fit or not.....hold on!

Top speed will be in the honest mid 180s mph. If you were looking at trying to hit an honest 300 KPH in a limited space this would be good gearing for that.

I love my 16-44 but I am 3" over. Good gearing all around and she has plenty up top with my raised limiter. I saw 165 on my speedohealer calibrated speedo at the top of 4th the other day. Not sure if the speedo is perfect cause i gps checked it to 130.

17/46 I tested with the stock ecu and extended back to back testing on the highway.

Stock was 155 on GPS, Extended was 163.
