And yes, a compression test would have been one of the next steps, had he not found what he did.

yeah, I wont be going to T&T anywhere until it cools off... I dont even think I'm going to end up running the truck in the index at the shootout either... just not ready. but I'll probably make it down to watch a couple races this weekend and I'll be at the shootout to watch if nothing else.

ben, i know we are still going to MIR later right? im gonna order my gears on friday. I definatly want to go to the track atleast one more time before i leave early oct. im goin with some motive 3.73s. Damn u ben if u havent got me thinkin about some 3.90s. i do alot of highway driving and dont want to be wound out at like 70. Also i was wondering if going from 3.23s to 3.73s was atleast worth a tenth.

i dont know if you will feel a real big difference going from a 3.23 to a 3.73.... might be better off doing the 3.90. what is your plan for the car though? a street or eventually a track car? forced induction or all motor? 3.73s should get you atleast a tenth off.... get your tune first.

sorry dude LOL... I had 3.90's in my last truck and I loved them... it was a perfect mix for me for track/street with just a little bottle on it. I know a car is different but after talking to another camaro owner in NC, who has 3.90's.... he wont go with anything else

and yes, we're still going to MIR... I just have to find more tires.... the guy who had those that I was getting, sold them out from under me. My traction bars will be on in a couple more weeks too... deciding on if I should get them powdercoated or not.

How much are you paying for the gears and install???????
The reason i ask...... is most spend around $6-700 for that and that a 1/3 of a 12 Bolt or 9"
FYI 3.73's for out 10 bolts are weaker then your stock gears.....
I should know... broke 3 sets with only 323rwhp on Nitto 245/50/16 Drag Radials...![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)

so any other input on the 3.90s? Im asking becase the only thing stopping me is highway speeds. Ill still be able to go well over 100 right. not that i do that nearly at all, just nice to know i will still be able to if neccesary. The 3.90s definatly are more appealing to me though because as of right now im no different than other bolt-on f-bods, dont here of to many a4s with 3.90s. How much are they worth on the track, a tenth or two maybe?

get your stall put in and the 3.90s will be worth more then a tenth or two. that 60' will drop nicely. youll be able to do over 100.... maybe 130 or so tops im guessing. they have that f-body gear calculator around here somewhere. that will tell you exaclty how fast you can go in each gear.
edit: i stand corrected. the calculator says you should still be able to run up to 160 at 6k rpms. here is the site....
