i have come to the conclusion as far as gear goes, I WILL pay more to get it done right. there seems to be way too much issue(not all of them. But many of them) with gear swap done by "my buddy's shop, who hooked me up" or "this guy who used to work at repairshop did it on weekend", or my dad knows this guy who'll do it for $200.." type of install.
those are usualy end up with whinne or some other issue, and usualy been told "thats normal for such steep gears" or some other crap.
if gear whinne, its because its NOT installed right. not because its 3.73 or 4.11 or made by someone other then FRPP. If its installed, and spaced correctly, IT WILL NOT WHINNE!
with that being said, I'm still looking for shop I can trust with gear install. Because i have 3.73 just sitting for the past 2 years, that I like to install...
Yeah that was bad.. but back in 99 I was a f-body guy. but it really looked funny with a mustang in the sig.. they were more then happy to change my name for me!
