307, 355, 373 Gear

[weed43]

I know this is getting old, but the 355 and the 373 gear are very close, for thoes who are running the 373 what are the shift points in 1 2 3 gears compared to the 307 gear, I have cat back and smooth tubes. I also understand that one should run a cooler for the diff. that is if i would be on a track with the car , I have no intentions of putting the car on a track. I very much enjoy short burst of speeds from 0 to 140 mph, it seems that the 373 gear would be the gear of choice. I am a new owner of a rt 10 and was disappointed with 1 and 2 gears but 3 was a real thrill.

Go to the SO CAL VCA chapter website and there is a tech section where you will find all the answers to your questions regarding gears. Speeds, shift points, 0-60 MPH, and Top speed. It is pretty complete. Good luck

Thanks REDSLED, They cover the gears very well, 373 may be to much.

No problemo Weed53 I have the 3.55's on my 94 and really like the way the car pulls. I think I will put the 3.55's on my 97 as well. I think the 3.73's w/the future mods I will be doing will be a little too much. Good luck
