how will 3.73's feel
so my mom tore up my 3.23's and I am redoing my whole differential and putting 3.73's in it. how will that feel? is it going to just be crazy power that won't get traction or what? I run in the 1/8th so I think that the 3.73's won't run out of gear. should I expect to ever even move without dr's?

I love my 373's. Traction, however, well I'm afraid to put dr's on because I know I will blow my rear end up, so street tires are what I run. I dont floor it under 30 mph, but otherwise I'm not afriad to. 1/8 mile you will not run out of gearing.

Haha I love flooring it under 30, kicking the rear out is fun
but yeah for my car at least, traction is a big issue, I cant floor it in first gear or else I pretty much sit and spin, but Im sure my stall has something to do with that too.2000 Silver Z28 w/ Sports Appearance Package, P&P TB, FTRA, Direct Flow Lid, Pace Setter LT's, ORY, Flowmaster 80, TCI 3000 Stall, Trans Go Shift Kit, Computer Tune, Richmond 3.73's, Bilstein suspension, Edelbrock torque arm, UMI Suspension bars, drilled and slotted rotors.

There isn't alot of difference between 3.23s and 3.73s. Get yourself some Micky Thompson Drag radials and you'll hookup and get gone.

donuts. she tore up the differential and chipped up the gears so I am going ahead and changing to 3.73's and a stronger differential (built eaton).
but the whole story was my mom took my car for a couple days while i didn't have my driver's license and she took my little brother and his friend somewhere and my little brother and his friend convinced my mom to stop in a church parking lot and do burnouts. then she started to doing donuts. evidently she stopped when it started not wanting to do donuts anymore. opened my differential case that night when she said the car was driving weird and she told me what it wasdoing and that diffferential looked horrible. I got my uncle to look at it (only other car person in the family, he knows way more than me) and he said when he saw it "holy shit that thing is fucked"
