Well, you could go to 3.73's. You would think you were driving a different car.

I just got 3.73's into my car from the 2.73 stock gears and holy smokes. Freeway driving = no more. But in town you cruise in 3rd around 30mph haha. its crazy.

also i found this nifty Gear calc site that you can plug and play numbers in to see exactly what gears you have.

I gots me some 3.08s...I take it the L is for traction lock/ limited slip? man...I need to go to 3.73s...or at least 3.55s. 3.55s are better for high way daily driving right? Do they give enough kick to notice? (I have to do a good bit of highway driving, other wise I would go 3.73s no question)

PS: what is the 2H10 for? its right after the 8 8.

yeah, I think my track time with this car is going to be limited, a few trips now and again for kicks, and a few runs from stop lights...and then the occasional drop and go on the high way. so 3.55s work well? I'll slap 3.73s in my next car/first official project, but thats a bit up the road.

any word on that 2H10?
