i'd say 3.42s 3.73s will kill your milage and over 50 your acceleration wont be that good...Mystic Teal Metallic

Do you actually know anything about gears?i'd say 3.42s 3.73s will kill your milage and over 50 your acceleration wont be that good...
Anwyay, if you want a car that is primarily for street and is a daily driver I would say don't go higher 3.42's. If you want a car that is primarily for the drag strip go with 3.73's.
From personal experience the 3.42's did not take away any mileage for city or interstate driving. Your acceleration from 50 will be better than the 3.08's, I am not sure what teal99camaro is talking about.
I am absolutely pleased with my 3.42's and LSD.

Whats wrong is you. Lower gears isn't going to slow your acceleration. Punch those two cars with those gear in them going 50 mph and the 3.73 WILL pull the 3.42. Only difference will be the 3.42 will win eventually due to the 3.73 running out of gear slightly sooner.Originally posted by teal99camaro:

Ahh, I see what you were saying. A period between 3.42s and 3.73s would have probably made your meaning a lot more clear.mjparme i wasnt talking about 3.42s. over 50 3.42s accelerate faster the 3.73s I dont know what was wrong with that response..
Anyway, you are still wrong [img]smile.gif[/img] As ReodDai pointed out from 50 the 3.73's will still out accelerate the 3.42's.SLP CAI, K&N, Whisper Lid, 180* thermo, manual fan switch, 3.42 gears, Auburn Pro LSD, Wester\'s PCM Tuning, TSP Rumbler, High Flow Cat.

Sorry but I have to agree w/ everyone else. 3.73 will pull hard and they will not hurt gas mileage.Originally posted by teal99camaro:
