#4) spin the tire one time watching the drive shaft. it shouldnt even go arround once.

BTW, it sounds like you have 3.73s or 3.90s. possibly 4.11s but you should have an extremely large low end torque feeling with those gears.

Thanks and I agree with what your saying. It makes a whole lot more sense.. :) But here lies the problem. I get 1 1/2 DRIVESHAFT spins for every one tire spin BUT I also feel like I have a lot of low end torque too? The car doesn't feel doggy and with that low a ratio I would think it would. I'm going to try lifting both tires and see if it makes any difference. This just doesn't make sense..

Re: Another Rear End Question (Koz)

I finally got some time to check this again and this time I raised both back tires. This time I got 3+ driveshaft turns for one tire turn so I'm guessing I have the stock 3.08 gears..

Now comes the question that was raised earlier in this same thread.. Shouldn't it be 3+ tire turns to one driveshaft turn? Can someone explain this?
