Guys that got gears after converter-come in. Who has gotten gears after their converter? What gear did you go to and what STR is your converter? What were your gains or losses with the gears?

With a 3200 vig went with 3:73 gears and now with 4200 Yank I have gone with 4:10's. I like the taller gears for the 1/4 mile--not much for street--but I don't worry about that. The 3:73 gears are a good around gear for an automatic. Good luck in the decision process. Cheers...........

i switched from 2.73 to 3.42 after installing my 3400 2.5 STR TCS converter. saw a couple tenths improvement. 3000-3800 stall with 3.42s are one of the best all around/most streetable setups IMHO.

Back in the day when i was a bolt on car i use to run a vig3600 and 2.73s I would cut high 1.6s on et streets. I switched to 3.42s with the same converter and started 60fting high 1.5s bolt on only.

Does anyone think that 3.42s would be a huge no no w/ the 3200 2.8 converter on ET Streets?
Last season, I didn't 60' well and that was not lack of traction car was stock w/ a cutout,lid, converter 7 ET Streets or Nittos. This year I am doing headers & catback & probably a cam.
