3.90 Gears from WCC?
Just stumbled on this: http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/pro...il.cfm?iid=466
Us M6-er's dont need the computer upgrade they're offering, thus we can get them for $1500. Little better than 3.73 price range :D

How old is this ad. I saw them last year for less, then they could not supply. I have 373's waiting to go in. I heard a whisper that another vendor will have 390's very soon ;)

Hey, there might be a market for the 2.73 housing now. I have one in the garage and so do many others.
I bet thats why they tried to talk me into leaving it at WCC when they installed my 3.42's

I read some weeks ago that these are not as strong as the 3.73 for any reason.

What some are doing apparently, (not WCC), are trying to chang the teeth on the pinion gear to acheive the desired ratio up to 4.09 yet maintain strength. lets see what happens.

Re: 3.90 Gears from WCC? (kewlbrz)
I have 3.73's that I purchased, but due to a job layoff I am now selling them for $1600 if anybody wants. These are new, never installed, and available today !! No wait for 12 people & the shop I ordered them from (who still has them in stock) will even take credit cards for payment. Anybody interested ?
