I value the opinion of the people on this board and I don't know what to do next. What should I do to my car next I have a couple hundred dollars to spend? Since I put my lca's on I have enjoyed my car a lot more. My car is a daily driver, I don't want to do anything that will make my car handle worse. I would like my car to go faster in a straight line as well as around corners. Give me some ideas along with which company I should buy now. The one idea I had was new gears maybe some 3.42, how much would it cost and how much will it help also what would it do to gas milage? My mods are in signature.

------------------
'91 Z28 305, Auto trans, K&N's, air foil, power pulleys, ported plenum, hypertech chip, hooker cat back, kyb shocks, STB, SLP headers, catco cat, spohn lca's, 14.7@ 93 mph(need new times after exhaust and lca's)

 

Gears could make a huge difference. 3.42 is probably about as far as you want to go. It won't affect gas mileage too much; gears are about $200, a posi from SLP is about $100, and it would cost probably somewhere around $300-350 parts and labor, depending on alot of things, to get them put in. You could just go over to Drivertrain Direct in Corona, they sell the gears and will put them in.

Another thing you might want to look at is some SFCs and some LCA lowering brackets.

Any other ideas? Also has anyone done the 4th gen rearend swap? Thanks

 

Casey,

Before you dig into the rear end, you might consider a different torque converter. You can get very similar launch results but still maintain the top end and fuel economy, as long as you stay with a lockup converter. You can get a new / remanufactured GM converter with a 50,000 mile warranty that stalls at about 2,300 RPM for less than $200.00 if you shop around.
