Default yank St3500 and 2.73 combo?

I was wondering if the yank st3500 will go good with 2.73 gears I might have go back to stocker gears.

They will go fine with 273s but it would be pointless to go back to them since you have 342s, your gears will really tighten the converter up and help with driveability. Good Luck man

It may work fine but it will defiantly work better with your 3.42s and it would be a waste of money to change them out.

I have a ST-3500 with 2.73's and I love it. It is far from too loose on the street. I have cut a best of a 1.76 60' with this setup and that was on BFG's

Hey man instead of going back to 2.73s you should buy a set of Nitto Drs. Good Luck man

I tend to agree-since you have already changed the gears, go for the traction, if it works in to your mod schema.

I have a simular set up... I have a Vig3600 and 3.42's I ran this TC with 2.73's for awhile and I can definatly tell you that the 3.42's help you out with drivability Stay with them
