Looking for input on which to keep and why.

Here is what I have:

1: G Force Gears (2001-02 time frame) used (2,000 miles) - Gears, chain, speedometer calibrator and all instructions came with them.

2: New Prowler Pro gear set with everything included.

3 and 4: New G Force Performance Gears from 2007-08 with everything included.

I tried searching for the differences but just got more confused.

So what can you guys tell me about these?

The following was posted by Tony April 23 2003 when he made is Stage II Gears available

-Force Stage-II Performance Gears have been released. Stage-II gears provide a 24% change in final drive ratio. #27% on previous gear sets# For 1/4 mile runs, this means your car will NOT want to shift out of 3rd until farther down the track

The following is from August 2003 regarding Stage I gears

Stock Prowler has a 31 tooth #drive# and 34 tooth #driven# gear set. This is a 1.09:1 ratio

G-Force performance gears have a 39 tooth #drive# and 28 tooth #driven#. This is a 1.4:1 ratio

Net effect is a final drive ratio which is 27 % higher than factory.

G-Force performance gears are 1-3/4 " wide with a single OEM chain#

Shift points will be at a 27 % lower speed with no change in engine rpm#

Engine rpm at any given speed will be 27 % higher with G-Force gears installed#
ie at 50mph engine rpm of 1475 will be become 1875 rpm with the gears installed#

The following was posted by Radcat Rich 1/10/2008# Tony's gears he is referring too in this post are the Stage II#

ProwlerPro is approx 27% higher than factory final drive and has better torque , really kicks in 2nd gear torque
I believe that Tonys is 24% not much diff there#
There is a diff in size of the chain Width
stock #2chains#= 1#25"
deans # one chain#= 1#75" #result 40% more contact area#
Tonys #1 chain as well# = 1.5"
The drive and the driven gears have different # of teeth on the gears:
Deans : 25/drive#smaller Gear# , and 35/driven #lg gear#
Tonys : 22 drive .............., and 30 "

August 18 2003 Tony posted the following

We continue to offer the Stage-II Performance gears as "High Output" gears for engines with increased HP , Superchargers and/or NOS systems

Hope that all helps. I bet you are going to get you get a lot of interest in your extra sets of gears.

I have had Tony's Stage I gears installed since August 2003.

As per my other post these would be Stage I gears with 27% higher final gear ratio

2: New Prowler Pro gear set with everything included.

I may be wrong but I don't think Dean ever offered different final gear ratio's so these would also be 27% higher final ratio.

3 and 4: New G Force Performance Gears from 2007-08 with everything included.

These could either be Stage I (27% higher) or Stage II (24% higher). Count the teeth on the drive and driven gears. Stage I have 39 tooth drive and 28 tooth driven.

I tried searching for the differences but just got more confused.

So what can you guys tell me about these?
Thanks.
