Gears
What is a decent gear set that can handle a launch or two?

What he said, except I have the 3.23 and we both 60ft low 1.40s I think alot of guys go with a TruTrac + Lpw cover etc etc if sticking with the stock rear. I think 3:73 or 3.91 would be good with those turbos? I found the ZL1 rear most economical by a long shot.

Wasn't sure if the OE gears was a weak link or not

Is motive gear a bad company? I've heard several people saying to not go with Richmond gears so I don't know who to go with.

The stock gears are very tuff. Made by AAM American Axle &Manufacturing. They generally do not break. The stock SS housing is aluminum and it will flex. Causing the gears to go out of alignment. I have been using 3.91 gears with JRE caps and LPW cover. That combo seems to last.
But I am doing a Turbo400 swap with transbreak this winter so I am swapping out to a ZL1 3.73 diff. Just to be on the safe side. |

Yes I will have my SS diff with the JRE upgrade with 3.91 gears and LPW cover. Also DSS driveshaft and 1000hp Axles.

^^also interested in 3.91 diff if it falls through with Red. Doing tons of winter projects to the car, would love to cap it off with gears if I could make it happen
