10-bolt 7.625 dia Gear Set (gear & pinion)3:42 ratio for3rd or 4th Gen Camaro/Firebird. If you planning a gear swap you also need to know what series carrier you have. Also you need to more research before buying parts and this is not a DIY job. It would also help to know if you have a manual/auto and your present gear ratio.

Have you considered getting a rear end from a Z? Disc brakes, limited slip, 3.42's. You can usually find them for cheap, like $200-300...

(a4 = A 3.4l i think) I have a question though, Lets say I know this guy... running the stock 3800 v6 engine will putting in the 3.42 gears on the car instead of the 3.08 gears be too much for the engine and cause it to lose performance? Do you get what I am saying?
