About to buy gears, few questions
Alright, I'm about to buy rear end gears and I know very little about them besides ratio numbers and size. I plan on having a shop install them, but I my to know they are quality parts, and I don't want to pay the shops parts markup cost. I have a 95 trans am with I believe is a 3.23 rear end. I'm upgrading to 3.73 because I'm an A4.
I just need you guys to check over my list here and tell me if I should change something.
I was going to go with Richmond 3.73 gears:

Re: About to buy gears, few questions
When I had my Mustang (yea, I know...hey Ford is doing it now, not back then), anyhow, I had 4.10's and they whined (not loud though). I think it depends on the install how much of a whine there is, but there will always be a whine.
I've heard from some even with 6 sp that 4.10's require the driver to shift way to soon when racing. 3.73's are better for both A4 and 6sp. With overdrive everyone can get away with 4.10's but it maybe too aggressive.
I think whine is part of gear changes.
I just heard gas (in CA) is expected to rise to $4 a gallon. HOLY... Time for bike.
