Ted wants to do the 4.10's. We have a pumkin all set up with his posi-mod allready done. His theory is that the car is so heavy that it needs all the help it can get. I just think thats to much gear and all I will do is blow the tires off. And won't I be into 5th? I've seen these cars with these gears and power just over power the tires and the track. I have very limited wheel spin now so thats why I was thinking the 3.45's to try if I can find an M6 rear. Maybe 3.73's at the max. I'm still unsure so I won't pull the trigget until all my research is complete. Thank you |

As a general rule the higher the power of the engine, the less gear you need. You have a much better converter than stock so it will really depend on if you can plant those slicks !! On another fairly high powered car, we put in 4.11s but later switched to 3.70 (Ford 9") and ran a faster E.T. and more MPH. There are so many variables. But it was also a lighter car. These Camaros are pretty beefy. |

Thanks Bruce. Thats Ted argument. The weight of the car but I'm convinced that with my setup I'll kill the tires with 4.10's. If I go with the tq multiplacation table I think the 3.45's should be gd and keep the car in 4th. 3.73's seem like I'll be shifting into 5th at the end of the pass. |

Well I have a spare rear diff if you ever want to experiment. I lent it to various people to prototype Camaro components. |

So if I am as good as the testers are and I can turn a 13 flat with a stock SS..What kind of times could I expect to get with a gear swap to 3.73'S or 4.10's ?

What do you have to do to get the speedo correct when the gears are changed? Does this require a tune? Don't want to knock it out of warranty.
