I have Richmond 3.42's in my car and they're as quite as can be. I'd go with 3.73's though, that's what I'm planning on soon but that's a personal decision.

I know this is my first post, but here goes. I have to go against the norm and say Motive. I killed a set of Richmond's with just ET street's. After that I installed some Motive's and put about 50 NO2 launches on them. When the second rearend gave, it was the axleshaft, and differential that went, the R&P held up.
