So I have done NOTHING with my car since moving into the house. Last year I tossed my 31 spline carrier and axles in the night before a race and didn't have time to check the tolerances as we always do.
Shortly after a few races I noticed the rear end was getting noisier. It was clunking as you drove. I knew the carrier shims were incorrect and decided before the next race this year to have it reshimed.
Brought the car to a friend, and we popped the cover off. Low and behold, gear teeth came out. Went from a half hour shim job, to a few hour gear swap. The guy who was helping has a shop at his house that rivals any garage. He had many sets of any gear ratio I wanted. I opted to toss in some 4.10s, just for fun.
So anyone have any ideas what I might run with these? Better, worse, the same?
I will borrow a set of Hooiser slicks on Draglites, and skinny front runners for my race in two days.
