Guys maybe somebody could help me out w/ this question. Which rear end does the 94-95 have a 7.5 or an 8.8. Most of the books and websites don't indicate anything. Thanks for the help.

Click to expand...

1.More importantly what are your long term goals for your car?N/A or power adder?
2.Are you worried about gas milieage(sp?) much?
3.Do you do alot of high way driving?
4.And do you have a 5 speed or auto?
If you answered no for q's 2-3 and have a 5 speed I would go 3.73 that's what I have and love them.

Thjere should be little to no change in going with 3.73's. What ratio do you have now?

If there is no poweradder in your future and you don't live in the plain states, go with 3.73's as a minimum. I have 4.10's and love them.

I had the privelage to ride in one of my buddy's cars a few days ago. He got some gears put in.....................drum roll....................4:56's in his 95 GTS!!! All i have to say is HOLY MOLY. He runs 10.5 inch rims with 315 drag radials out back so the thing sticks pretty good. Wheel spin is minimal in 2nd gear actually. That car puuuuuuuuuulls. We topped it out at 115mph but still. lol. We got up there in like 12 seconds haha. I would never go that high though. Just thought id share.
