I have an 86 2.3 with an 87 turbo motor in it..... got alot of work done to it with all aftermarket internals and quite a few bolt ons. I put the 8.8 posi rear in it... what gearing would be best.... 3.73 or 4.10. Im not sure which one i want!!! lets hear what you think

it will see the highway sometimes...but it deff. isnt my everyday car. I want to run it at the track and still be able to drive it places. The furthest i would go on the highway would be like 30 miles.
