hmmm, then I think I have to check my door code again, and count how many times my wheels spin to driveshaft roatations...

cuz I swear my tag was the one for 2.73s. unless my gears were swapped... if they were swapped to 3:55s then I'll hold off on gears...

they may be 3:08s

If I were you I would probably go with the fixing the windows option because the winter is comming on and that cold does suck. But other than that gears would be the next performance mod. I know mine will be After I get my valve springs and get the car together its next.

well if you want some more ***** in it, go with the N2O hahaha

If you watch the forums and ebay, i have seen a LOT of combos being sold lately. You could probably score some nice aluminum heads/nice intake if you sit on your money and be patient

u prob already have 3.55s then.. i have 3.73s and at 65 my rpm is at 2100-2200 back with the 2.73s 65 was at like 1800. def jack the car up, mark the drive shaft and diff and spin the wheel once. hopefully it will spin around three and a half times

if u have gears already then dont bother upgrading to 3.73s. not a big diff at all. and go with the springs. u can find a set of used cc plates for cheap if u look in the right places

^^ only way i could see your tack being off like that is if they changed the gears, and never put in the new speedo gear for the trans....
And ya i hear you on term papers and stuff! Its crunch time were im at too!
