Re: more 10psi track numbers
If your talking about turbocharging a 3.8L putting in the 3:73 Gears is a mistake. Go ahead and install the LSD and other parts but you won't want anything taller than a 3:42 Gear in a 3.8L turbo car.... Unless your going to have a 30" tall tire or somthing.
High gear ratios like the old gear head/sbc/bbc guys use backfire when it comes to turbo cars. You'll loose at least 3tenths with the 3:73's over 3:42's. Been proven over and over again on GN's.
Thought I'd give you a heads up before it's too late to send them back.

So far i got some universal 8mm accell wires, accel coils, lsd-3.73 gears w install kit, cover, 1 piece steel DS, complete 45k mile 3800 engine from a 97 camaro, boxed LCAs, poly torque arm bushings, 3 inch exhaust piping w\flomast muffler\cat\ + rest force fed's turbo kit on the way. I might as well pick up a full rear end with disc brakes. On ebay this guy has a crap load of them going for 200-300 bucks but they live in tennissee, sucks for me.
