best rear match for a TH350

I have an 88 iroc with a 383, th350 and 2.73 rear. What rear would be the best choice for a daily driver (not much highway driving). I have heard that 3.42's work best with my combo. Any of you out there have a 383, th350 and 3.42 rear? How good does it perform?

Thanks & peace to you and death to Osama Bin Ladin and the Taliban!!!

Keep your politics to yourself.

The most gear you'll want in the diff and still enjoy highway driving with a TH350 is 3.73. The 3.42's will be fine.

Ive had the 3:73's and I dident like them "very agressive" so I went back to the 3:42's. much happier now

Stephen,

We have freedom of speech in America. It's got nothing to do with politics. See the post, "to all those who suffered today". :P

There is plenty of free speech going on there. You are in Calgary. America is at war with Osama Bin Ladin and the Taliban. NOT politics. Just looking to KILL them all for what they have done and will do in the future if not killed. See the posts on this topic by moderators, Vader and Glen.

ALSO SEE POST "GENERAL NOTICE". EMAIL ALL THOSE PEOPLE AND TELL THEM THE SAME.

DON'T TELL ME TO KEEP POLITICS TO MYSELF UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE SAME TO THEM.

WHAT THEY DID ON SEPTEMBER 11TH OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT AFFECT YOU THE SAME WAY IT DOES US IN AMERICA!
