The rear end in the 84 is a D36, across the board. the biggest you can fit is a 3.73 without upgrading to the D44.
I think gears are about $200~$250 or so... PLUS!!!! Installation!!!! It is NOT a job for the shade tree mechanic. It requires special tools...
I would look for a D44 and new c-beam... the D44 will up you to 3.45 rear gears... that will be a huge jump!!!
The overall price will be about the same, with much greater upgradeablity.
I would also look at performance mods to the xfire... there are things you can do that will really help performance... there are newer intakes and options available. I am sure that other xfire owners will eventually chime in...
You would be looking at around $275 for a GOOD set of gears and then another couple hundred if you pulled your own differential out and brought it to someont to install.
