  • Gear Upgrade and LSD

    Question.

    I contacted www.speedautomotive.com about an LSD for my 94 Firebird. I think I got lucky.. I don't know yet.. you guys let me know. He said that he had the following:

    Ring and Pinion
    LSD
    3.42 Gears

    For: $125

    I know that I have 3.23's and 3.42 probably won't make that big of a difference, but was this a good deal?

      They are out of a wrecked 2002 Trans Am with 23K on the odometer. So hopefully they shouldn't be too worn out. Huh

        As long as you're getting the ring and pinion together, go for it. I think you'll like the 3.42s (I'm betting you actually feel the difference).

          Can someone explain to me what exactly the ring and pinion are. Does the ring have anything to do with the ABS System?

            Ring and pinion refer to the type of gears in the differential. The ring gear is just that, a gear in the shape of a big ring. The pinion is a conical gear on a shaft that intersects the ring gear. The pinion is turned by the drive shaft (which is turned by the engine) and it turns the ring gear. This setup allows you to transmit the power from the engine in a right-angle. The ring gear doesn't have anything directly to do with the ABS.

              true but if you have a open diff right now you will need a relocutor ring for the rear abs to still work. slp sells them.

                Building the Tom Henry RS
                Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
                By: Hib Halverson


                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
