go read the stickies about gears and stalls.. you MIGHT gain .05 on your time and about the same oon the mph.. spend your money and time on something else.. unless its the LAST thing you have left..... if it were me.. i would leave it..

 

Trust me I no the whole budget thing, fulltime student and work doesnt leave much $$. Gear swap was extremely expensive tho. Gears, install kit, labor for install, speedo correction. Only reason I did 373s was thinking id be satisfied going high 12s...yea right LoL. ss4000, Lts, and ory going in as we speak.

 

you guys wont be saying this kinda stuff if tommorrow you go out and race and get walked by half a car. If you keep cutting tenths one at a time the result in the end will be most impressive.

 

Did you even read what was posted?

I'm not saying that small gains here and there aren't important. I'm saying the money is better spent elsewhere. Would you rather spend $500 on something that gets you half a tenth, or spend $500 on something that gets you two or more tenths?

 

^ I agree I would spend my money more wisely

 

+1 here again.. do it last.. if you had 273s then.. yea... little different story... or if you wanted to go 410s.. but not 323 to 373... not for the money..

 

i had a 3600 VIG on my 99 TA with ls6 HC and switched from 3.23's to 3.42's bc i had a set sitting around and was rebuiliding my stock rear with moser axles...

major difference, dropped from 12.6 with a 1.8 60ft to a 12.35 with a 1.75

the best thing about teh 3.42's is I am at 6500 rpm going into 4th at the end of the quarter, i can only imagine that teh 3.73s will perform as good or better with the 3600 stall.

really low gears (hi numerically) are only for dedicated drag cars.

IMO 90% of what is posted here on ls1tech, is posted by clueless people reposting some bunk information they read from somewhere.

 

stickies and experience.. junk? or were you directing toward someone else?

 

At least gears will help tighten up the loose feel. Lts and ory are pretty loud cruising around at 2500 rpm

 

good tune and a good stall will let you steer clear of te "loose" feel..

 

I had 2.73's and I put in a 3800 stall and 3.73's at the same time. I can't even begin to imagine how steep each gear would feel after feeling the quick pull of 3.73's. Given you have 3.23's so I'm sure its alot better than 2.73's feel. Plus I drive mine everyday, it locks up quicker, and I wouldn't want it much looser than it is now.

For me it was worth it. Stall+gears= .8 and 4mph in the 1/8th

 

^^ I agree even with 373s, I wouldnt want it any looser than it is now. I could not imagine driving a 3600+ converter everyday with 273s.

 

i told you already puto put the 3.42 . have ill let you have them just give me some neck your going to feel a difference nomatter what you do so stop being gay and lisening to everyone else and make up ur own mind and be a leader not a follower like jaybezzzooo lol thats how i know your gay .................................................. ...............................p.s. next friday same thing or what lol no sparks this time yaaaaaaaeeeeeeehhhhhhh bbbbbbbbooooooooyyyyyyy

 

id do the 3:73s if you can do it your self. I found some used 3:73s on here for $75shipped then a basic install kit was only $50. So if you can find a good deal and do it yourself a gear swap doesnt cost much. I only have $125 into mine. I dont know that you will pick up a whole lot in the 1/4th mile though.
