I just meet the coolest guy. He use to work for GM as a Trans Tech for the 4T60 series and he said if I ever need to borrow any of his books, to let him know. He said that I can put 3:73's in my trans. Has anyone ever heard about this? and what do you guys think. This guy built a Monte Carlo Track car in his garage, so I am sure he knows his stuff.

Nice find, sounds like a good hookup!! Highest gearing available for our cars, iirc, is 3.69's as listed on ZZP's website. But then again I know next to nothing about transmissions, and your guy claims he worked on 4t60E's for years, so yeah....Definitely interested to hear more about this 3.73 gearing idea...... I'd be cautious before letting him tear into your trans, though. Some people say they can do many things and talk a good game but end up only being good at one thing...bullshitting. Just something to think about

theres a lot of people running 3.69's i dont see 3.73 gears being an issue but what gear/reluctor/chain/deifferential make up 3.73 gearing?

^see, that's what I didn't get either. Not saying it's not possible, just sounds a lil sketchy. Hope youre not gonna be his guinea pig for this 3.73 project Travis :mrgreen:

In a 3100, the FDR was 3.33:1 anyhow. Going to a 3.73 wouldn't be THAT big of a deal.
