2.73 to 3.42 Hey Guys,
Was thinking of giving my vette a little more kick!
She's putting down 350rwhp/360rwtq. I have no idea what it runs in the 1/4, but on a 90deg day at 2000ft elev it ran a 4.7 0-60.
I don't plan to race it, but I think the gearing is robbing some performance?
Should I...
1.) Add 2800 stall and keep 2.73?
2.) Go with 3.42 only?
3.) Add 2800 stall and 3.42?
Have some concerns about traction? Also, will 3.42 lower my top speed potential or improve it. I hear 2.73 won't pull the .70 4th gear, but the 3.42 will.
Thanks!

I did 3.42s in my coupe. Big kick in the pants! I didn't do a stall, but then again, I only hit the strip a couple times. I also tuned the trans pressure so it would shift a little firmer.. like twist the back end around 
I also had a 150 shot on there so I had to wait until 2nd to shoot. (a4)
