Default Best place to have Rear Diff. built?

I am wanting to get my stock 342's changed to 390's. Anyone got any suggestions on who to send my differential to? I am trying to get prices, but I can only think of a couple of tuners that will do them by mail.

DTE did a great job on mine and EastCoastSuperCharging has good prices.

I have his 3.73 Getrag with both hardened output shafts + Level IV M6 tranny. Awesome stuff. Great prices.

Cartek built mine and is currently running a special with the cheapest pricing around. I have had mine for a year not and numerous 6000rpm dumps on slicks and have not had one problem.

I'd vote for Phil at DTE. He'll give it the engineer's touch. :cheers:

I guess so, I was not really aware that they did it. I guess I know who I will call in the morning.

Dave,

This is your Douglasville buddy right here.. :seeya Let me know what you decide, as this looks like the best mod for the buck, and I'm all about that! I've been contemplating removing the rear-end myself, and shipping it off, as opposed to dropping the car off somewhere, but I'm really not sure what's involved, since I haven't recvd. the service manuals yet.. Shoot me an email..
