Stock rear end gear? I'm trying to find out my gear ratio, so I looked for the GU2 or GU5 on the door sticker. I have two stickers; one for tires and the other is codes. I don't see it on either. 
Am I going to have to drive at 67mph or 80mph like the Sticky says to find out?

I don't know that your year, used the same codes.
Maybe, or not. If you have a sticker full of codes
on the door then one of them has to be axle, but
you probably want the info off a LT1 site that's got
the straight scoop.

But I did do the thing where if I drive at 67mph@2000rpm(2.73) or 80mph@2000rpm(3.23). And according to this, I have 3.23 gears.

For the rear, I'm going to use Royal Purple or Mobil 1 so I limit the possibility of breaking it.

Well damnit then, I don't want 2.73s. Well is there any difference in stock 1/4 mile times between 2.73s and 3.23s? But I don't know why I ran a 13.7 in the quarter when the only thing done is LPE intake and Flowmaster MUFFLER (not exhaust). Yes, it is an LT1.
