I currently have 3.23's now and I was wondering what the performance difference would be if I went with 3.42's. I'd definatly get an LSD while I'm at it which will be cool. I know that the jump from 3.08's to 3.42's is huge - but I was just curious about this change. Thanks!

0-60 will improve, 60 ft. time will improve by a little bit, your 1/4 will improve at least 2/10's. You will get 13-17 mpg in town and 28-31 mpg on highway.2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />T-Tops, 3.42 rear gear stock<br />Mods:K&N Air Filter,Whisper Air Induction Lid, maf screen removed, raised air box, Kumho Ecsta 712 255-50-ZR16 tires, BMR stb<br />Mods not installed yet: FTRA, SLP Lsd/Differential cover<br />Near Future Mods: HPP3, GMMG 3\" Exhaust , 1LE Swaybars, Transgo Shift Kit, MSD-DIS-4 w/ Accel Coil-Packs, Turquoise Blue Neon Underbody Kit, BMR Adj.

I never look at the gas, It didn otn affct my car too much, speedo is off by abotu 5 mph, but makes ou look like you are going faster then you are.
I noticed an improvement, and you cna launch alot harder with lsd. I also went up to 4 wheel discs, it was a very nice swap all around. The LSD feels awesome on corners too.

for all you 3.08 cars that went to 3.42's with LSD, in your opinion, do you eat up ALOT more gas or is it just a small increase?1998 Red Firebird A4 3.8L (3.08)<br />Dynomax bullet then dumped, Carsound cat, NGKTR55 plugs, Taylor Pro 8mm, Hypertech 160*, Whisper Lid, k&n,!FRA, Lifted Airbox<br />(2) Audiobahn 10\" subs<br /> Sony Xplod MP3 Head unit/interchangeable Color Display

Hey I was wondering....with the time I have posted in my sig. how much time do you think I would take off with 3.42's? Is it worth my time? Oh and like Supersix asked how much milage do you lose going from 3.08' to 3.42's? Its not a real big deal about the gas I was just wondering. Oh almost forgot...how much do you all think a PCM would be to correct my speedometer?
