Default who makes the best/quitest gears for the 10 bolt?

Like it says above fellas. I want 3.73s but I've heard of too many guys complaining about gear whine.

Thanks.

My strange gears were really quiet in my M6 car. Setup is the key to quiet gears. If they aren't setup right, any brand will be noisy.

I second the vote for Strange... my 4.10s are a little noisier after several passes at the track, but they're still good.

for your 10 bolt there's nothing better then good old genuine GM gears.IT's what i put in my own car and i build rears quite often and would use no other. Quiet and strong!!

I've used Strange and Motives. The Stranges were slightly noisy, but that was a setup issue. I've seen Strange be perfectly quiet. My Motives were very quiet also until I put some slicks on, but they still arent bad...no worse than my stock 3.42s. I've never used GM gears so I can't comment on those. Just dont buy the cheap *** Motives that are under $150. I've thought about trying Richmonds just to see if they are as noisy as people say.

GM and Strange gears work well and tend to be pretty quiet. I don't remember who makes the SLP gears that we cary but they have also set up very well.

I used one set of Richmond gears years ago. Never broke them but they made alot of noise.
