Ordered gears, what can I expect? I just ordered Strange 3.73's and a ratech deluxe install kit. I currently have a 1999 Z28 A4 with the 2.73's. What can I expect? What kind of gains in the 1/4? Whsat kind of SOTP feeling?
Thanks

Ratech makes one and you can get them from www.thunderracing.com

from Ratech:
Ratech also manufacturs solid pinion bearing spacers, or "crush collars." These are excellent for cars that "shock" their rear ends extremely hard during launching, which is common with manual transmissions. The solid pinion spacer will allow your rear end setup to remain constant after repeated hard launches. (Because this piece is setup slightly different than a standard crush collar, please ensure that your gear installer is familiar with installing solid pinion spacers.)

but my 60th went from 2.1 to 1.8
so u could probably expect something around there if u get traction...
but that was only 2.73's to 3.42's
Good Luck
