Gears! 4.10s would be my choice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

A pulley would be a good purchase too.

Get some giggle gas. Huge gains for the $$$. You already have the big exhaust and it would compliment the n2o in big ways. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Thanks for the replies!

A couple questions.

With the pulleys are there any adverse affects ( i.e. engine running hotter, battery not charging well, etc.)?

I heard that the rearends in these cars don't hold up to well. If I go with gears will this increase the likelyhood of breaking my rearend or don't I make enough HP yet?

Are there any bolt-on parts that will strenghten the stock rearend?

Thanks

Get 4:10.1 gears...trust me you'll like them. Then get the pulley. <img border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Z06 Corvette]" title="" src="graemlins/z06.gif" />

Gotta agree with the gears....4:10's will wake up the acceleration like you did major engine work. My car had tons done to it but the 3:42's never seemed to push the car hard enough...then I put in the 4:10's and it nearly snapped my neck the first time I hit the juice with slicks!

Thanks for the advise! I'm still undecided but I'm leaning towards gears.
