AND i'd like to know what rear gears they have in them. Definitely put me back in my seat. I'm also not a big fan of displacement on demand (or whatever Dodge calls it) I'm young but I enjoy the old school rumble of the constant V-8.
You should definitely get rid of that POS STS camaro, that thing has never worked right. Your gears are taking more than a day to put in? Was something broke in there?

They're finally in, Nick. And I don't know what you mean they've never worked right. You and I haven't met up in months now and I haven't had a problem. The problem w/ the gears was I was waiting on something I think he said a crush sleeve. I have no idea what that is but he said it's not reusable. Let the whining begin.

PS. Anyone on here have a hand held programmer for my recal in the Hampton Roads area?

I was saying your car has never worked right but I was just fucking with you so settle down. What kind of gears did you end up going with? Anything is better than 2.73's.

I get a little testy these days. I think I'm experience sympathy-PMS from the misses so don't mind me. I ended up going w/ 3.42's I think they'll work really well with a 3200-3400 stall I plan on getting. I wanted to get a fuddle stall but I think I'm going to go w/ TCI after I heard this one guys story about fuddle's customer service.

I knew I was going to experience some whining with these gears but I didn't quite know it would be so annoying. It's not loud, it's just... there.

Do they whine all the time or is limited to accel or decel? Sounds like they might not be set up all that well. Dustin's got Richmond gears, which are known for whining, and you can only hear them when he's decelerating. Have you had a chance to open it up with the new gears?

I didn't know if I really should or not. I was thinking about breaking them in just a tad on my car even though J. Creech said I don't need to break in used gears. I'm going to wait to open it up until I get it recal'd. It doesn't whine when I'm off the pedal. Everyone said Rick over at TWR was the man to go to.

I heard Rick from TWR was the man to go to also so maybe they're good. What does your speedo calibration have to do with you getting on it? It never stopped you when we were going 130 through down the interstate.

Because I'd like to know what speed I'm going. I haven't taken the car over 100 in months.
