Which gears...

[DeNsE07]

I drive alot on the interstate...but also alot of running around town also. Should I leave my 3.23 gears and just get a torsen differential? Or get 3.42 gears with torsen differential also? Or would that totally screw up my top end/gas mileage? I was thinking about gettin 3.73 gears...but I think thats out of the question now. Let me know your opinions

3.73's!!!!! youw ill not regret it!!!!! RPM's at 70 are about 2600 and the car accelerates better in every gear, i still get 23-25mpg with the 3.73's...they arent as bad as people who DONT have them say they are!! get the 3.73's/LSD, i promise you wont be disappointed!!it will the best mod you have...

Roughly speaking, there is only about a 5% difference between 3.23 and 3.42 gears.

There is 10% between 3.08 and 3.42, and 10% between 3.42 and 3.73 gears.

So going from 3.23 to 3.73 would be 15%.

Make sure you check out speedometer, top speed limiter, and shift point issues before you decide to go with 3.73 gears.

3:42, evidence that I have read suggests that you will have a top speed somwhere in the range of 92-97 mph with 3:73's . I dont like the idea of owning a car that cant guy over 100, no matter how fast it gets there. Call me a nerd but I kinda value my top end (puts on anti flame suit as to avoid burns from 3:73 enthusiasts)

[WickEdSix9838]

if he has a 5-speed it will top out at 100! i dont need all that top end, i only run quarter mile...

Got my 3.73 Strange gears today!! I paid $199 plus tax which is the same price I hace seen the Motive/Mosser gears. I'm happy. They go in first thing in the morning! :D :D

I run 323's and they perfect for nitroused runs.
I cruise at around 2350-2400 rpm's at 80 mph [img]smile.gif[/img]
342's were great n/a
Do you really want to have a speedo and odometer that is slightly off?
Can you deal with that?
If yes then get 342's, if not then stay with 323's

Now that ive driven my car with 3:42's I can safely and relaibly say that I love them. My top end seems to be intact while my low end is noticably stronger. The lsd makes a world of differance with traction as well.

3.42s with LSD are great overall. That's what I have now. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
