Will higher gears make it easier to drive?
 
Since I did a T56 swap into my car, I'm still running the 3.23 gears. Will going to a 3.42 or 3.73 make accelerating from a stop easier on the clutch and require less slipping?

Yes, numerically higher gears make it easier to get the car moving. I don't think you'll notice mutch difference going to the 3.42 though, too small of a jump.

oh hell yeah. your better off saving for a built rear..like a 12 bolt or 9 inch because you'll already be paying 500 installed for gears..unless you do it yourself. A set of 4.10s will do wonders. What do you have done mod wise?

With 2 overdrives on a T-56 you can now feel free to put some gear in the car. It will thank you ;) lol
