Which gears

I want to put new gears in my car. Its an 88 Iroc 350 and currently has 2.77 gears. Im looking for a little bit more umph out of the car. I was leaning towards 3.42 gears and wanted to hear what opinions anyone else has.

Re: Which gears

I would go with that. Any higher it may be to steep for your motor if its kept close to stock

Re: Which gears

Thats what I was thinking. Im going to stick with the 3.42 and 10 bolt from a 4th gen if I can find one cheap or at a junk yard.

Re: Which gears

omg they are lol. except the guys who painted my car were supposed to give me that strip kit but got me the dlack and gold, which i dont mind. they also put my iroc door sticker on the front of the door instead of rear. oh well. only a true thirdgen person would know the difference.
but yea i got all the specs on the 4th gens with 3.42 gears so off to the junkyard soon.
