I found a complete 3.73 rear end disc to disc. I have a couple questions before I buy it though...

-This is for a 97 Camaro 5 spd

1.) Will 3.73's be overkill and put a lot of strain on the motor? The car is a 5 spd and I will be spraying at the strip. I don't do much highway driving - just to us41 and short trips here and there.

2.) I know that my speedo will be off, but I can pick up the part thru SLP to correct that. Won't my odometer be way off too? I don't want to have a 50k mile car and have the odometer read 100k miles. How would I correct this? Does the SLP corrector fix this also?

3.) I would be going from drum to discs - will the brake lines hook up and will I have to get a new e-brake cable?

Thanks

Doesn't sound like the 3.73s would be overkill for that application. Plus, you will notice the change much more going to 3.73 as opposed to 3.42 since you have 3.23 now.

I believe that if the speedo is corrected by this module then that should take care of the odometer as well. The VSS will be altered through the module and I am pretty sure the odometer takes its reading through there.
