Just put in a 3.73 10 bolt today from a 3.42, a friend gave me a spare 10 bolt and I had a driveline shop rebuild it with Strange gears all new parts and TA cover. We went to a car show tonight and on the way back my buddy drove next to me (me in a Formula and him in aZ28) at 55mph ,60 and 65 at each speed i was about 5 mph under our actual speed. At 60 i was at 2000rpm, 70(75 on my speedo) was 2400. I`m gonna Ls1 Edit for the gear swap and go to the track next Wed or Fri, i expect about .10 and 1mph and that will hopefully get me in the 10s. By the way that 3.42 10 bolt had about 150 passes in the low 11s and about 350 runs in the high 11s. Good luck with yours.
