Has anyone experienced any big negatives with this setup?
Im concerned about any popping and creaking noises coming from the rear of my vehichle like others have mentioned. What has been the overall experience with this gear swap? thanks!

Personally, I wouldn't ever use Richmond gears again. It was a nice ratio, but if I had it to do over again I'd have gone with the Lingenfelter AAM 3.70's.

I know the 4.11 were supposed to be known for breaking but I thought the 3.73 were supposed to be good.

Jannetty set up the Richmond 3.73's in my car, along with doing the posi mod and billet caps. I hope they set them up correctly, since they supposedly know what they are doing. But, since I wasn't there I can't say for sure.
I got the LPE AAM 3.91's in my car now, and they are silent, the Richmonds are very noisy. But that is kind of a trademark of Richmond gears, Noisy.
The 3.91's should have come with this car from the factory. I love how they drive. I'm now running 2000 rpm's at 75 mph in 6th gear. With the stock gears I was at 1750 rpm's at 75 mph in 6th gear.
