well i take her in to have the 373 gears put in wed. this week. want to get an idea if 373 is what i want before i order the 12 bolt. dont know how long the 10 bolt will last with the 315's.

 

got the car back on friday. shop said to take it easy on it till the rearend warms and cools a couple times. i noticed a whine that starts about 40 mph. it stops when i let off the throttle. goin back to the shop on monday so ill confront them with the issue and see what they say. also getting a vibration as i get up to 70. gona try adjusting the torque bar today. maybe switch the universal on the back around so its hooked to the yoke the opposite way. any suggestions on what these may be? im happy with the gear choice im turning 2k at 58 mph, with the 223's at 2k i was at 68 mph.

 

the stock rearend is not holding up well. i been taking it easy on it so it will last till i get bucks for the 12 bolt. i dont think the shop did such a good job. i can install wrong by myself.

 

does the shop have a warranty? I would be all up in their stuff if they messed my car up.

what brand of gears did you buy? i bought a set of richmond's and they were noisy as $#@!. I had a guy who is very reputable build the rearend and even took it back to him to have all the depths and mesh checked. He said everything was spot on, they are just noisy gears. Had I done my Homework, i found out through various feedback this is typical for Richmond gears. I just had a set of Motive 4.10 built in my spare rearend. waiting for the new torque arm before I install the other rear end. I'll let you know how the motives hold-up/sound.

 

thats what they told me. do you get vibrations at higher speeds?

 

have these coming from strano, should just about finish the suspension.

 

Let us know how the new sways feel. I want to eventually buy Strano's 35/22mm sway bars kit so I want to know if it will be a good investment.

 

will do. just talked to the shop about stroking the old block to a 383, want more power. thats my next project.

 

^^Lol well it looks like we are in the same boat (:
