@ 80elcaminoflake and Davev i really want some 3.73 cause i know it would pull like crazy and i can image the burn outs but im ready to start enjoying my baby again so im gonna push these 2.73 and hope i got enough torque to to still have some get up and go,i could spin the tires on the 20s and onelegger before my engine upgades i should be good.
