Changing rear end gears in the gxp
I know this is easy in fords with the 8.8 rear end, my mark8 had 4.10'* in the rear and they were nice. How hard/easy is it to change gears in the gxp? can it be done? I am sure it would screw up the shift points and you can't get a chip for the car, so it may not be easy. Anyone have any input?

ignore teh useless post above....
In theory the final drive grear ratio could be changed; the GXP already has a very aggressive ratio. However, without PCM support it may not be do-able due to shiftpoints unless a kit exists somewhere for a differently toothed speed sensor reluctor(?) wheel
do a google search about 4t80e performance parts and maybe you could dig something up, also i would look into caddilac forums for better 4t80e support

However, there is NO PCM support. This is a big factor.
No more bitchfesting. The best we can do is explain the difficulties in making it work, I don't think we can really do much to help you find a different ratio. Until the PCM is cracked (not likely to ever happen) this won't work well.

And I believe that the GXP has a 3.71 Ratio?
