Default 4.11's are in!

Got my 4.11's in today and as has been stated many times around here, there doesn't seem to be a dramatic difference as compared to the OEM 3.42's. I haven't had a chance to take it out and nail it yet. Clutch and H/C are next, then a new tune.

I bought a complete rear assembly from another guy and I put the solid spacer on the pinion and a Summit cover. It isn't real noisy, but I do believe it makes a bit more noise than the original gears.

It was a PITA wrestling the housing assembly out and then wrestling the replacement back in. If I hadn't had a lift and a helping hand it would have impossible.

Actually, you should see a dramatic difference in performance. Bob

Absolutely, I do expect to see a dramatic difference in performance.

I was just trying to indicate that the car still seems very streetable with the gear change.
