I spoke to a summit racing rep today. I was going to order a 3 series carrier because I want to go from 2.73 to 3:23 or 3:42. he told me that Summit makes a 3.42 gear which is compatable with the 2 series. He explained that the gear set has thicker gears. I did the research on Summit racing website and it also stated it does fit. The part number is SUM-741014. Here is the link, it states Fits 3.08 and numerically lower carriers. Am I missing something?

No, you're good. There are several "conversion" gear sets out there. That way you do not need to change the entire gear case just to go up or down in ratios.
