help with gears
 

i have a 2000 ss with ls6 and cam ... do you think i should go to 3:73 or something else ... ?

Auto 3.73s, stick 4.10s...

its A4 yea

4.56s

10 bolt?? Stay stock!!

Agreed.

Go 3.73 if you want to gamble with it.

no going to a new Moser 12-bolt rearend

what gears does it have in it now?... if theyre 3:42's stick with them and get a big converter instead

it has a 2800 stall conv. and stock gears

More stall + More gears + More 12 Bolt

:nod::lol: yea thats what i say but how about more money

i think im going with the 12 bolt and 3:73 gears dont know what i do for the stall conv.

qtps, 12 bolt, 3:73's, 3600-3800 stall, and you'll knock off 5+ tenths off your quarter depending if you know how to launch your car.

wow thats what i like to hear thank you

You never mentioned what size tire you run, cam, shift points, etc. Ideally, you shoot for crossing the traps about 5% past your peak power RPM. Need to calculate converter slip, and a few other things. Figure out your trap speed vs RPM and tweak from there once you know your converter slip percentage. If you aren't trying to maximize your combo, 3.73s on a 26" tire would be your safest bet.

whats you intentions with the car - track or street/strip? If you dont plan on a giant stall and want to stay streetable I would say 3.73 and 26" tire. Thats what I run, but I have a loose 4k stall and run out of gear a little before the beams trapping 124.

its for street im not much of a track guy

ok the rims 18x9 19x10 rear the tires are 295/30/zr19 for the rear and i forget the fronts ... also my old cam was rpm range 1,800-6,800 duration @.50int/exh.222*/224* lift int./exh.566"/.568". BUT all that is being changed as we speak the car was running really bad when i bought it. so i have alot of work to do to it

3.73s, no question.

dont go with a Moser 12 bolt, they use 4 small torque arm mounting bolts that tend to back out.

True... but I guess you never saw that neat little blue bottle that parts stores carry?,,,,, it says Loctite on it.:mrgreen:

We have literally soaked them in red lock tite and still had problems with them backing out.. On some cars we have actually welded the bolts to the torque arm to keep them from backing out. Just a bad design in my opinion..

Have fun ice skating on that wheel/tire setup :lol:

when my cars is all done after eveything ill see how it stands up to others

Can tell you right now those wheels and whatever potential tire you will wrap them with is gonna kill you off the line.
