Default What is my biggest problem??

Ok I have 2.73's and my car feels like **** from a dig until 25mph and from 40-50 mph. I was thinking about changing to 3.42s but I have been reading and it seems to me that my the biggest problem is the stock converter. What will I see better times with, a Yank 3600 2.5str or 3.42 rearend?

Do gears first then buy the cnverter with the gears in mind.

I picked up 6 tenths with just a converter change. went from stock converter to a 3200 vig. I ran my 2.73 gears for over two years with this converter before I went to 3.42's. I would get converter first.

Nah not to bad I went from 2.73-3.42 Just don't break the spacers lol Like I did, took me about five hours the first, Time but I would replace all the barrings instead of waiting for them to go out after your done.

Definately do the converter! way more gain than gears will ever do for you! Don't forget the trans go shift kit and B&M cooler though! good luck
