Recommendations
Ok, so my ring and pinion gears are slightly sheered, and my posi unit is ready to take a dump. Anyone recommend a certain company? I was thinking SLP ring and pinion, and getting the posi unit from richmond.

i'm on a $1,000 budget. I wanted a 12 bolt (whole rear end) pretty bad, but I don't have THAT much.
Ring and Pinion: 250
Install Kit: 150
Posi Unit: 500
and I have an instructor in school that said he'd do it for me, and have it all done in one day. of course with a fee. So, i'm looking around 1200. lol

When did mine in, I did an Eaton Posi, Motive Gears, and a TA Girdle, among a few other things. Works great, and It only whines at a little bit of a higher MPH and its BARELY noticable.

I spent about $800 total, and they threw in a set of SFCs for half price for me. But that was New Eaton Posi, Motive Gears, TA Girdle, Install kit with a solid spacer, all the fluid I needed, the SFCs, and a few other odds and ends.
**Edit** But like Jake said, the car never left my garage and had a few buddies help me out. I would of spent alot more had I sent the car to someone else.

SLP gears are GM gears, My Motive gears had a bent pinon when it blew, I replaced them with SLP gears and I had a spare new torsen in the garage.
If you drag race go for the Auburn Posi, you can get them on ebay from Horsepower1 for under 300.
Put on a girdle too

gears dont effect mileage. driving style does, but its hard to not change your driving style with gears.

Eh? Care to elaborate?
If you spin 2,000 doing 65 on the highway and you now spin 2,400 at the same speed your milage will be worse...

gears do impact mpg, 3.23 to 3.73 my gas mileage dropped about 4mpg.

Yeah, I know... I'm just wondering why qwik said that... Unless he means around town where you may spend more time in OD then you did before.

Mine lost a little bit (from 3.23s to 3.73s) but not too much of a loss. What I think Jake (QwikZ) means is that the loss is not that bad, however with the gears sometimes there is more tendency to stab the throttle

when i went from 3.42 to 4.10 i noticed maybe a couple MPG change. Nothing that concerned me personally. A lot of people see better around town milage with (numerically) higher gears since the engine doesn't have to work as hard to get the car moving
