hey guys i just had a quick question thats been buggin me for a while. i know new rear gears will help a lot with accelaration, but do they do anything for actual horsepower and torque numbers? if you ran on the dyno would it be more than stock?

Red, the gears will have some effect on the mileage but it all depends on how you drive also as to what the effect will be. When I changed from the 2.73's to 3.73's in my '88, the crusing rpm in overdrive at 70 mph went up from 2,000 rpm to 2,300 rpm and I didn't really see any big decrease in gas mileage at all. With lower gears, the car will get up to speed and in higher gears quicker and this can actually save some gas provided you aren't leaving every stop at WOT.
