I think any of the "race" gears will be stronger in
terms of fracture toughness, but softer (wear).
That's the usual trade.
I'm having my T-2R put in tomorrow (if the speed
shop and tech survived the hurricane and am just
going with some used GM 3.42s.

I get my work done at the Palm Bay Chevy dealership,
they have a speed shop there for Rathman Racing's
'vettes and do other speed work too. Shop rates are
high but they stand behind the work they do. Plus I'm
only 3-5 miles from the dealer. And I've gotten on the
good side of things w/ frequent little hop-up jobs and
helping out with tuning.
I would think in Daytona you'd have more speed shops
than you could shake a bag of money at. But figuring
out who to trust is the tricky bit.
