Rear Gear Selection

time to get the new rear peppered in advance of 10 bolt destruction.

I picked up the rear out used out of a 6 speed car, and it has 4.10s in it. So no bueno for me.

Without any confirmation other than word from the previous owner, my car currently has 3.42s in it. With those 3.42, i trapped a best of 124. But i do not remember what RPM i went threw at, nor was i logging data.

The car has a 26" tire, stock geared 60e and makes about 430 on motor and will be getting 100/150 of Nitrous.

Since the rear going is is a ford rear(8.8) i have been made to beleive ford racing provides the best gear quality wise, so i will most likely be going with them.

Making my choices most likely 3.73 or 3.55.


and yes, i tried all those gear calculator things, they blow.
