I had 3.73's; then I busted my posi

I tell ya though, now that I'm back on a 3.42/open/drum axle from a junkyard '88 Camaro, I can definately tell the difference. The car isn't as zippy as it was. 'Fact, I'm now driving under the speed limit!! I got so used to being at a certain speed by "hearing" the engine RPM, that now, I'll catch myself doing 5-10 under the limit without realizing it. I think I'm flying down the road, but I'm really poking along. Ha, I guess I won't get a ticket!
