what gears to get?
just trying to figure out what brand ring and pinion i should get and where to get them from?
i've been looking at richmonds, i know they are supposedly noisey, but i don't care much about that. so what brand are you guys running and where did you order them from?

I have Richmond 3.73's. Richmond gears are ground in a way that will cause them to whine if not properly set up. Mine don't whine.

i have summit gears, ford made them back in the day, put them in a warehouse, and sold them in a mass quantity to a company that summit bought from. mine winned a little when we first put it together, because we set the depth really deep to lock them together.

Correctly set up rear gears do NOT whine. Just make sure that you have street type gears. Drag race gears are too soft for the street.
