Default 3.73 Rear End HELP!

Well I don't have the money now but would like to know what I am getting in to. I don't know much about rear ends, except that I want a 3.73. So which one do I get? Will this work http://store.summitracing.com/partde...=RMG%2D4900461

If not, then what do I need, here are a bunch of different ones. http://store.summitracing.com/search...h&part=GM+3.73

Thanks for the help!

None of the above. The parts you linked to are for GM rear axles. You have a Dana 44 ICA axle in your car.

RACE ON!!!

I think you're also confusing an L98 with what you've maybe heard about LTx engines too. Check with other guys that run manual trannys and L98s, but I don't think you need that much gear down low........that's where your power band is anyway. Seems to me I've read 3.45/3.55s are the gear of choice for your setup. JMHO........ good luck! :cheers:
