Gears quicken accelleration time by increasing the amount of rotations the drivetrain makes per tire rotation. Now as far as gear sizes go, this is going to start a fight, if you do a lot of racing, then get 4.10s, if you're more conservative and are looking for a decent amount of accelleration, then get 3.73s. A t-lok eliminates the one wheel open differential that you have, in other words, only your right wheel is supplying power while the left acts as the traction wheel, a limited slip differential will allow for a little more hp to reach the rear wheels by allowing both wheels to supply the power. Install will run around $250-400 and you'll also need a rear bearing kit.

 

Another mod you could consider would be a new throttle body with a spacer. It should add a little horsepower. Gears are also a good choice though also.

 

So the limited slip differential should in theory, increase horsepower? Hrm, that's a bit more my thing. I'll probably look into that after I get CAI, since that seems to be a great starting mod. Anyway, back to original poster, thanks for answering my question!

 

i would personally recomened 4.10s, and a detroit true trac unit for gears

 

Gears and Tlok fo' sho'

 

are you running an FFRP tlok or something else?

 

Ummm........... a TB spacer won't do jack diddely squat, and a throttle body will only add hp if your upper intake is port matched to the new size, and will only reach its full potential if the entire intake is ported with a cam swap.

 

yes


and right on jeremy

 

7.5 or 8.8?

 

Unless you plan on breaking 300+ hp, the 7.5" will do you just fine.
