How much horsepower do you have and at what rpm do you want to be crossing the finish line at? Bob

3.90's & 26" Mickey ET's are exactly what I use & they hook. If already decided on 3.73's, they will also be a nice wake up compared to the 3.23's.

Good question, I have the 26.0 E.T. streets and 3.90 in my 9 inch. I went to the track friday morning. Converter was not stalling for me whatsoever(3200 stall). Maybe it was the 92 degrees out. And real quick Im making a tad over 500whp with a remote turbo.
The reason I found this thread is because I didnt like the gear, and Im searching other peoples gear choices. I would love it if someone else could chime in and shed a little light the subject. Then we would both be in good shape.

so you think 3.90s would be the way to go ? will i run out of gear and will it give me room to grow as the car gets lighter ?

Guys, do they make a 3.90 gear for a 10 bolt? I know they do for the aftermarket rears but I didn't think that was a choice for 10 bolts.
