Yeah... well, thanks for the heads up. Guess ill look at swapping the gears first versus installing it, hating it, and pulling it back out to put gears in.

So far I have a new, Waste Gate, Intake, Boost Controller, and cleaned up my wiring. I should have my 10 point cage and mini tubs done by then, and im going to cut out more metal out for weight reduction. I should see a 9 sec pass if all goes well.

now i wouldnt say youll hate it... it will just pull through the rpm really fast and youll prob have no traction if you have crappy tires haha but its not like you cant run it...

i would have liked to stick with the 3.42's but I got a Moser 9" with 35splines and a wavetrak diff, and the closest they had was a 3.50"... so thats what im running now and i love it.

Well if he had 273 then he most likely has an auto, as most if not all stick cars came with 342

Except for '93 manual cars that came with 3.23's. But different gear set in the M29 T56 made up for it.

Yeah but he said he missed 2:73's so one might assume the car came stock with those, I am pretty sure no 4th gen 6speed car had 2:73's. I could be wrong though.

Correct. I was just stating that not all 6-speed cars came with 3.42's that's all.
