GM 3.23s or 3.42s, and an Alburn pro limited slip differential will wake up the car!

However, I would first concentrate on getting as much power that you have now to the ground by upgrading the suspension.

If you have any other questions, send me a PM.

Yep, Unless in bumper to bumper traffic watching the fuel gauge drop to empty.

I didn't notice a fuel mileage change from 3.23's to 3.73's. I understand it may be more if you had 2.73's
