3.08 & 3.23 gears for GM 9.5" 14 bolt differentials
Anybody have any info on how durable the 3.23 and 3.08 ring & pinion gears are for drag racing & mile runs? The LPE 9.5" diff uses GM 9.5" 14 bolt diff gears and 3.08 or 3.23 gears are options to break 200 mph without shifting into 6th gear and bogging. New 3.42 gears are readily available, but top out at 200.5 mph @6750 rpm.... so not ideal.
For 3.23 or 3.08 gears the only option is to find used gears..... but back to the point - are there known breakage concerns like Richmond had with early 4.xx gears?
Also, any experiences using this for drag racing? At mile hi elevation a 3.08 and 950ish RWHP would keep me from a 3-4 shift and I would think be quieter on the street.
....another question would be who has cracked an LPE diff and under what conditions (power/gearing/auto vs manual)
