Leave the 3.23's and get a TQ converter. The after marketr 3.73's are weaker and you will spin at 2500 rpm at 70. If your going to do it the right way do it with a 12 bolt or 9". Ive been thru 3 sets on drag radials and im tired of it and now im doing it right with a 12 bolt. Just my .02 cents though.............

Thanks alot guys... TQ converter is the next thing on my list of Mods. Is a TQ converter going to be something that I can do myself, or would I need to take it to a shop?
