3.73s w/nitrous

[01camaro]

I really want these gears for NA, but will they hook up ok with a limited slip and Centerforce DF clutch or will it spin too much, I'm gonna shoot a 100 shot? go 3.73 or 3.42, all please respond.

nitrous with 3.73's would be horrible in my opinion. I cant hoot a 100 shot out of the hole with 3.42's and drag raidals. esspecially with a M5 miss a shift and booooom by by 3.8L With my 75 shot i can pull a 1.7 60 foot and run a 13.457 during the hot a.ss summer and 100 shot is still to come with some et streets cause nittos wont hook that. Hopeing for a 12 sec pull that is after i get the engine fixed i smoke like puff the magic dragon right now. Dont spray a 100 shot when you are 1/2 a pan empty on off you will collaspse lifters and have a mystery oil leak that makes your car look like it is on fire under the hood. Just fair warning.

To me it sounds like a good idea. If your car will run a faster NA time with it, most likely it will run a faster nitrous time, maybe you could just start spraying in 2nd instead of right off the line, or buy a jacobs mastermind so It doesn't hit to hard right off the line.
But I don't know that much. . I used to think 3.73s were the best, but it seems that 3.43s are looking like the best all around gears. Get that LSD though.

I have 323's and I have serious traction problems.
Can you use 373's and a 100 shot sure, traction will be out of the window and also the speed limiter will come much faster.
When I had 410's n/a I hit my speed limiter at 85 mph!!
I pull a 1.630 60 ft with et streets and 323's.
I have hotchkis trailing arms, pan hard rod, sub frame connectors etc and it is hard.
Nitto drag radials wont grab.
If you hit the speed limiter on the bottle it cuts the fuel and that is bad.
