Hey, tom--
I was curoius as to what kind of set up you have on your bird. And also how was that 3:73 rear end swap? You have an auto dont you? DId you go from 2:73 to 3:73 or was it a different ratio. How much of noticable difference?

TomP

Yeah, I have an auto. I went from 3.42/open to 3.73/posi, and it was a huge difference. The car has much more "want" to accelerate on the highway... it's cool- it's like the faster I go, the car wants to go even faster!

I've done a bunch, but the major stuff can be seen in my e-mail signature, and here it is:
