do NOT waste money rebuilding the stock rear... it's very weak... but a 12 bolt or 9" rear... if you plan on making your car a head/cam car then go with 4.10's... if you plan on supercharger/turbo then go with either 3.42(stock ratio) or 3.73...

most people prefer 4.10 over 3.73s... and depending on the size of the cam you'll need 4.10 to retain streetability (along with the tune)...

what's wrong with the motor???

Oh ok so I'll see if I can get the 4.11
once I get it the way I want it I'm gonna tune it

nothing wrong with motor it's jar that it's all stock

you'd be fine running a turbo or SC... jsut as long as you keep the boost under 8psi you'll be fine... check out the forced induction section... lots of great info in there...

**98maro** · 06-10-2010, 12:02 PM

Ok I'll go check it out
so if I keep it under 8 psi I'll be okay?
I dnt have to change nothin? Like injectors
MAS n all that

most kits come complete with new injectors and fuel pump unless you get a tuner kit...

I lime the turbo
bt on a v8 I think the supercharger works better
but I'm gonna wait on that for now

3.73s are stronger than 4:10s and it makes 6th gear good for cruising. Might be worth considering.

**98maro** · 06-10-2010, 04:07 PM

So if I go for either 3.73 or 4.11 wat do I have to change?
Do I have to replace the axles?

Question!!!
If I do a swap on the rear end of my car. N my car has the traction control and the car that I took it off doesn't have traccion control
will that work? Or it has to have traccion control?
Thanks
