I have located several Corvette only web sites and even a Crossfire Injection only site. Some info seems very good and some has left me confused, so I have been asking my tech questions here at Vetteweb.
Do you know of any reason I cannot run 3.73/3.75 gears in a Dana 36. A guy in Illinois that I have bought parts from told me he has several customers that have run them for years without any problems. I have asked this question on other sites and I get replys like " I heard or somebody told me " you will have problems. Car has stock short block with 1985 L 98 heads and a ported stock intake
What do you recommend

The gears would be 3.75's. I swapped my 3.07's for them. You need a Ring and pinion specifically the 3.07 and up, or 2.73 and down so it will fit properly. Both can be purchased from various suppliers, some found on ebay. I rally like the 3.75's! with my automatic. I drag race and auto-x the car and they are the perfect gear. I can cruise in the mid 70's without any prob. Car turns around 2400rpm at 70mph. I am xrcrx on the Crossfire Forum and CF and DC forums.
