Default 3:90 for an Fbody?

I seen an add in Thunder racing for 3:90 gears. Is this a good choice for my car? I was going with 3:73 (up from factory 3:23's) along with a new rear end cover girdle and stud kit when I seen the 3:90 option. What is your opinion for my car? (check signature for mods) Also I will be getting a Yank 2800 or 3000 stall for the car along with the gears. It is just a weekend toy and I dont want to buy or run drag radials, just the tires I have on it now which are Bridgestone Potenza 295/35/18 on Boyd Coddington 18x10 rear(18x9 in front) wheels. My goal is to match the cars components with each other. It will see limited track time, mostly street "encounters". Thanks

if its a 6 speed, i recommend 4.10's


auto, 3.73's




3.90's tend to be a bit loud and a bitch to setup properly from what ive heard.....

I've got 3.90s in a Moser 12-bolt. Noisy as hell, just like anything else above 3.73.
