Brandon Wicknick and I take our somewhat similarly horse-powered (+/- 15 or so) 350zeds and line them up to see how big a difference gears actually make. Turns out, quite a bit. If you already have a dialed in 350z with coils and angle, I highly recommend sourcing a set of 4.08s to make 3rd gear easy on almost every track.
Not only does it help with acceleration in a straight line, it for sure helps with drifting and makes the z even easier to shred hard in.
