When I get my 3.42s with posi installed. Don't know if this belongs in the lounge 
...Anyone care to venture an educated guess?

Well, if you spin you will go slower, if you get traction you will go quicker.
Everyone always thinks they will go quicker, sure you should if you grab.
It has been seen here and there where people go from an open rear 308's to lsd and 342's and they expect quicker times, they hit the track and spin and go slower.

How much difference on the launch would better suspension make? I was thinking I could hit low 15s or high 14s with a couple other mods besides the gears..I was considering doing a suspension upgrade or getting a hypertech power programmer next.-Eric<br />2002 Navy Blue Camaro...Striped and Stalled. 35th Anniversary SS wheels <br />Best ET: 15.384 @ 88.32 on street tires<br />Project Whitney: Goal, 14.0 1/4 by summer 2008.Comment

Shirl is running stock suspension or extremely close to it
If you spin then you might need to improve on what you have.
If you hook then I would put the money into horsepower gaining mods firstRace car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

Thanks guys. Should be getting the gears in next week if everything goes well. I'll post on what kind of results it gives.-Eric<br />2002 Navy Blue Camaro...Striped and Stalled. 35th Anniversary SS wheels <br />Best ET: 15.384 @ 88.32 on street tires<br />Project Whitney: Goal, 14.0 1/4 by summer 2008.Comment

Don't forget to break them in before you go barreling down the track. Heat them up at least 5 times, highway speeds are okay. Let them cool for at least 4 hours between break-in periods. Do 15 miles per break-in. No spinning the tires. No wide open throttle. Do it right so that they don't whine loud. Don't be scared by a little whine. It'll quiet down over the next few months.<b>1998 Firebird 3800 Series II, A4</b><br />Direct-Flo Lid,K&N Filter,DEE TB Spacer,TPS-TEC,ZZP Mini-AFC,Raised and Cutout Airbox 7mm,BMR STB & Boxed LCAs,KYB AGX Shocks,Drilled/Slotted Rotors,180* Thermo,2.5\" Catco Cat,Dynomax 2.75\" custom catback,Kumho Ecstas/245,Jet Stage 2,3.42,Edge Racing 2870 Stall,B&M Tranny Cooler,B&M Deep Tranny Pan,LSD,AAM Girdle,1LE DS,NX Wet Kit,MSD DIS-4,MSD Blaster Coil Packs,Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm Wires,NGK TR6\'S gapped .045,ZZP UD WP Pulley,SLP Fan Switch,TT II\'s<br />N/A: 15.6342 @ 88.44 (On stock converter.

Mine did. I don't notice it at all. Maybe a barely audible whine when coasting, but you gotta really listen to it.<b>1998 Firebird 3800 Series II, A4</b><br />Direct-Flo Lid,K&N Filter,DEE TB Spacer,TPS-TEC,ZZP Mini-AFC,Raised and Cutout Airbox 7mm,BMR STB & Boxed LCAs,KYB AGX Shocks,Drilled/Slotted Rotors,180* Thermo,2.5\" Catco Cat,Dynomax 2.75\" custom catback,Kumho Ecstas/245,Jet Stage 2,3.42,Edge Racing 2870 Stall,B&M Tranny Cooler,B&M Deep Tranny Pan,LSD,AAM Girdle,1LE DS,NX Wet Kit,MSD DIS-4,MSD Blaster Coil Packs,Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm Wires,NGK TR6\'S gapped .045,ZZP UD WP Pulley,SLP Fan Switch,TT II\'s<br />N/A: 15.6342 @ 88.44 (On stock converter.

AMinor65:
So the whine will not go away if I don't break them in just right? How loud is your whine? Would it drown out my exhaust note? BTW, did you run 15.9 before or AFTER you got 3.42s?
