    Rally Red
    2001 Camaro B4C

    RPO codes

    GU2 Axle Ratio 2.73, Rear
    GU4 Axle Ratio 3.08, Rear
    GU5 Axle Ratio 3.23, Rear
    GU6 Axle Ratio 3.42, Rear

    It says that is for 2001 but I would think that it would be the same.

    Look for the RPO code on the inside of the driver's door.

    GU2 2.73 Rear Axle
    GU5 3.23 Rear Axle
    GU6 3.42 Rear Axle

    If you cant figure that out, jack the rear of the car up, put it in nuetral, make a mark on the drive shaft, and then on the tire have someone spin the tire one whole revolution while you are under the car and count how many times the drive shaft turns.

    example, tire turns 1 revolution and the driveshaft turned about 3 and a 1/2 turns

    your ratio would be a 3.42 etc. the code on the door is easiest, as long as the gears are stock.

    If your car is a six speed, all six speeds got 3:42s.

    Need a set of 323's? Just swapped mine for 373. Shifts to quick now, I thought it would let RPMs climb more in lower gears for auto. Highway RPMs are higher, sucks. I wish I kept 323 and got a tune instead. WOT is cool though.
