Now that i have reached 500rwhp with my great A and A vortec kit ,i dont plan to go much farther with motor mods on my 98 auto i am looking to get rid of the dreaded 2.73 gears. Looking to spend around 2,000 on new , question is to get new zo6 from gene for 1400 or get one from rick at rkt56 . what does one do? Really cant wait to spin those 3.42s . Money no problem when it comes to performance.

Then spend the money and get the upgraded rear now. If the stocker breaks, youll be kicking yourself.You dont want to do it twice. Trust me.
