RE: 355s or 373s????
I have a 90 gt stock for now except the aod is built and has a 2500 stall speed convertor. Eventually I will be doing a HCI swap but i wanna do the rear first becuase it has 140k on it. It has the stock 2.73s The motor has 55k and the trans 500 miles. Should i got with the 3.55s or 3.73s

if you plan on twin turbo or are just afraid of your car go 3.55's , it will feel slightly better than stock
if you are afraid to pull the tires off the ground w/ slicks, go 3.73
if you want to get everything you can get , go 4.10's
each gearset over stock will raise apx 250 rpms, so a swap from 3.08 to 4.10 will raise rpms by about 1000 rpms total in any given gear, you will drop about 1-2 mpg w/ 4.10's and tach 3000 doing 85 mph
just my opinion devildog.........but i've had a few 5.0's

Which is better for a daily driver
Which is better for a daily driver
It's a choice YOU have to make. How important is daily driving mean to you VS et.
Most daily drivers have a pretty hard rear tire. Anything with decent tire life is not going to hook up with a deep gear, not even a stock 5L.
I don't know how fast some of you guys drive on the highway but I have 3.73's with a relatively small tire 235 45 17. I hate them for daily driving. I often take off in 2nd and let's just say I"m not in the passing lane driving home from work. 2500rpm is pretty much as fast as I feel like pushing the engine and I'm definately getting less than 20 mpg.
There is no correct answer here.
