I'm getting 3.73's and I just wanted to know what's the best way to go......I've heard Richmond gears aren't the best choice for the F-body, but I don't know how true that may be. Thanks for all the help, in advance.

 

I am in the midst of putting Motive Gear 4.10s in an LT1 rear for a 3rd gen Camaro with a Detroit Truetrac differential. Motive's ad says that they are virtually bulletproof but with the 7.5 10 bolt it is a toss up.

 

I've got richmond 4.10s in the ten bolt and would recommend a different brand. They vibrate quite a bit even with an LS1 alum. driveshaft.

 

I came across SLP ring & pinion set on fbodymotorsports.com.......could this be good for me?

There's also a Moser ring & pinion available further down that page......for considerably cheaper.

And I would need the install kit, correct?

 

More important that which brand of gears you run is how well they are set up. No true street gear is going to be that much louder than the next.

I run motive gear sets. The current set in my new 8.8" is silent. They were set up with a solid pinoin spacer. Ratio is 4.1/1

I got a recommendation for Motive gears and install kit from Stripper Motorsports.........I called today and ordered me up a set. Should be here Monday or Tuesday.

 

yeah, i am running motives in the 4.10 ratio. They "Whir" quite a bit. but i love they way they function

 

Richmonds are just fine. Get the install kit with em.

 

Too late.

And I heard from a shop guy that Richmonds make noise.....he uses them for race cars, but for primarily street cars, they're noisy.
