Default Do I Really Need This???

Alright, long story short, I have a 2002 GT that makes 370/360 thanks to a vortech and iam about to put 3.73 gears in. My car with see occasional track time with MT ET Street Radials or BFG drag radials. Should i spend the extra money and put 31 spline stuff in?

Definetly, it will help get the max potential out of your current setup.

yes, its not cheap but worth it if you use drag radials and see the track often.

If you're really launching the car hard, then definitely get some 31 splines, they'll save you the embarrassment of getting all revved up for the green, popping that clutch and then SNAP. You get towed home.
