    i chunked my 7.5 that had 3.45's in it and the only thing i had laying around was an 8.8 out of a gt. It had 41 teeth in the ring gear and 15 in the pinion so thats a 2.73 right?? anyways i dont know whether i like it or not at 65 mph im holding 2 grand on the tach. The car pulls funny not hard or anything just a steady pull but itll do almost 110-115 in third according to the gps any one else ever tried this setup??

    2.73's are probably wayyyyy too steep for a 2.3.

    yea

    it isa lilttle much but its all i had layin around at tha moment that would just go in with no mods i also put edlebrock adjustables and aftermarket lowers for tha control arms. it made a huge difference in tha ride and handling i thing. and it also launches better

    throw a set of 3.73's in it before you put it in your car. then you have a nice upgraded 8.8 traction lock with some nice gears

    3.73 would definitely hit the sweet spot I think.
