    Axle question.

    Well guys the car is running and I have realized how badly gears are needed to get this thing to 7500rpms. With the 2.75's 1st gear can get all the way to 75mph and this is with a freaking 5 speed. I don't need to go 300mph, so I am remedying this. Ronstang is helping me assemble a 4.30 geared...
