My converter will go strait to 5800 at any speed in any gear, with 4.10's... so I knwo what you mean. gonna ahve to tighten it up some this year I think.
yup going from a 3.23 to a 3.73 in a 12bolt more than likely, maybe a 9" with the aluminum center, we'll see. I think behind an auto the 12 bolt will live happily.

Dan I think you'd be fine with a 12 bolt with the auto, but if you can spring the $, I'd go a step further and get a fab 9 and alum canter section, only because you can put one of those together and it will be almost as light as a stock 10 bolt. I kinda wish I had gone that route myself. But until I need to narrow the rear to fit a really big tire/minitub in the car the 12 bolt will stay there.


Blackscreamin, you'd have to do ALOT of pleading... wouldn't be as expensive as a tow truck, but it ain't gonna be free that's for sure.

dude, gas is not free, neither is insurance (you should know THAT) never mind the wear/tear.


Besides, you don't do enough riding to get a free tow home LOL.

You know I know enough that I know nothing about Insurance, we pick our rates out of the sky, or my personal method, Dart Board throwing.
