rpm with 308s

What rpm are you turning with 3.08 rear gears? Thinking about getting some, are you happy with them? :cool:

Just a hair over 3,000 on the freeway at 80 mph or so. You have a 3:55 rear you wanna swap?

Re: rpm with 308s (LT1driver)

I have 3,55 with 1:1 no real driving experience with the set up yet, but I'm already considering going for 3,08 or 2,83 final ratio. :eek:

Re: rpm with 308s (LT1driver)

My 3.08's are new. Complete differential u-joints and half shafts available, new bearings throughout. We decided to swap it for C4 stuff before we complete the car. Hate to see it collect dust in the corner.
