  • Need more acceleration out of the hole, 3:42's?

    When going (in an automatic) from a 3:08 to a 3:42 ,& I know people here have made the change,what can I expect?I have a '98 Camaro.No mods except a Blackwing A/F,& a Rhino muffler W/dual exhausts,Z28 tips. Will it be a SOTP improvement?Now I can't even peep the tires fom a standing start!Will I be able to smoke 'em?Went with the 3:42 from an anemic standard automatic 2:73 in my C5 & the improvement was pretty good.Should this be my next logical mod for mre bottom end acceleration?

        3.73's are the best jump...

        4.10's are a bit gas guzzling on the freeway especailly... Unless you don't care about fuel...

          go 4.10s, if you going to invest ur money in a fast car u can worry about gas

          dont be penny wise, and dollar dumb

          but if 4.10s are too much for ya then go with 3.73s

                i said i wanted some pull! hp! 30-80 mph range
                maybe if your just wanting to get off the line get a higher stall torque converter?

                  i still think the 308 to 342 switch is a good choice. i personally wouldnt have wanted to do 410's, i do too much highway driving. 342's have been a nice balance for me.

                    i love my 3.42s but if i ever have the extra cash i might switch to 3.73s (only if i have more power like a cam,stroker, turbo)
