3.73 Richmond Gears - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am planning on upgrading my gears to 3.73 on my L99. It appears Richmond is the only company to offer 3.73 gears. Does anybody know where the best place is to purchase these gears and who also may have the best price as they are quite pricey.

Let me know when you are ready and I will make sure you are taken care of.

Why not go 3.91 for much less?

If I had an SS, I'd be looking at 3.91's exclusively unless 1) You are forced induction, or 2) You are competing in top speed events.

But what do I know? I'm a simple son of a caveman.

AAM offers 3.70 and they are much more reliable than Richmond's gears.

My future plans involve a cam and stall. I believe 3.91's would be a bit too much for me.

You are correct.

Agreed. The auto transmission is geared more aggressively than the manual so you do not need as much rear end gear to achieve the same result to begin with.
