Re: gears

True story man, I believe with going from 2.73's to 4.56's along with a Ls swap from a tired stock 350 will be just a little bit of a improvement

My buddy brought up a good point, my front may have different gears, but everything you said is true, I have neglected the gears some, actually never done anything to them...but I'll tell ya that's gonna change!
