Corvette guys, what cam/convertor with 2.73 gears? What are some of the cam/converter combos guys with a4, 2.73 geared corvettes are running? How's driveability? what is the peak power point and optimal shift point for your cam? did you loose anything at top end (highway rolls)? what rpm is your engine at at 30mph cruising? does the car try to creep at all (pull against the brakes) when stopped? Any regrets?

i agree you should change the gears also if you are doing t/c and cam. gears are the most bang for the buck mod imo. try and find a used set of 3.42s out of a z06 or you can always buy new ones.
