Default 0-60 test with new 3.73 gears installed

I can definetly tell a difference, the tires didnt squeel as much with the old gears and it seems a lot faster. I posted this so people can also see what kind of RPM's they will be looking at with certain speeds. If enough people request I will do a 0-120 or something.

I come up with about 6 seconds or slow...I mean or so... yeah lets keep it SLOW.

I guess I am just used to it, I want a s/c really bad, but I dont know if I my engine and back end can handle it safely. It is only a GT not a cobra. Plus I am concerned about traction now with 300 HP, what about when I have 500 HP? lol

This summer I plan on getting 3.90's installed. Maybe even 4.10's, I haven't decided yet.

300 flywheel hp. Around 260 rwhp with what you have.

I only paid $250 for rear gears installation and that was with the best type of gear oil, the kind that is like $70 for 2 gallons, I forget the name at the momment. It was a white can with red lettering. Anyway I live in Tampa, FL not sure if you are close. They did a really good job, I watched the whole time taking pictures like an idiot.

Oh I mean, there is a lot of work that goes into it, so $350 is not too bad if they are a nice clean shop that you have heard good things about. If anything gets into the gears when they have the car apart of course you know can really hurt.
