Welcome! I picked up a skip shift eliminator on ebay. Thunder Racing has them and they're a site sponsor.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if it is the gear ratio you are looking for they should be 3.42 gears...

Also, welcome and congrats on the new car!...Gotta love the Firehawks!...I just got my old T/A a few weeks ago myself!...

I plug the site www.jegs.com a lot,
no, I don't work for them, but I wish I did.
Anway, I think there prices are hard to beat, and ebay can't back it's stuff up like jegs. So if you want a skip-shift elim. go there and I believe there are 2 to choose from.

Welcome

sweet ride, also you could have the shift skip tuned out if you plan on doing anything else in the future.

2.73 was in z28's i believe, firehawks if they were auto came with 3.23 similar to the SS but you could upgrade if you wanted the better gears. welcome aboard by the way. also trySLP they're the one who made your firehawk from just another TA so if you want to find out your exact build number and options etc etc contact them
