I have had a V6 2.73 for the last 4 years,and now I just bought a 86 IROC with 3.23's and limited-slip posi.How much of a difference should it feel?Because when the IROC is going around 30 and up and I let of the gas it feels like its grippng and letting go rather fast.It upshifts fine except for a little hesitation first thing in the morning.Am I just not used to the different gears yet?Thanks

 

I have a better explanation.It feels like its declerating when I let off the gas almost like slight touching of the brakes.The V6 just keeps coasting

 

It sound like you are not used to V-8 torque when the engine is braking when you let off the gas.

 

Did you put 2.73's in your V6??? They never came with 2.73's. Only 3.23 and 3.42.

 

No,someone told me i had 2.73's a while back,so I asumed thats what I had.

 

well i have 3.23 and a 350 tpi and when running a high rpm and then letting off you will get a quick decell..

 

Thanks,its a big difference from the V6,but I'm getting used to it.I drove a friends TBI V8 awhile back and it didn't feel much different or faster than my V6,thats why I got the TPI.
