Thanks for info. I am interested in just changing out the entire assembly for a different gear ratio. I have 273s and would like to go to 342s. Someday I plan to go to a 12 bolt with 373 but right now I can't afford it, so I figured if I could get a good assembly for 3-400 at least I could take advantage of the bolt on mods I have done (headers, catted Y, CAt back, Ported Polished TB, Ram Air System, and PCM tune). the car ran great, but I just installed LCA, Adj Panhard, and SFCs, along with Nitto 285-18 on the back. It hooks so good that with the 273 gears it feels sluggish. Prior to the suspension upgrades it would spin the tires like crazy; now it just plants. I don't know if the car is faster now or slower but it feels slower. It's probably a little quicker but the perception is that it slower. Anyway, I think a gear change would really wake the car up.
