Hey everyone I am new to the forum ;D. How ever I cant stand driving a semi muscle car that doesnt have a limited slip diff. I have a 2000 red Firebird and I have no idea what gears it currently has. It has the auto trans if that makes a difference to what gears GM dropped in it. But I would really appreciate it if you guys can point me in the right direction as to which limited slip to buy. I was thinking about just getting the stock diff and the SLP install kit with 3.73 gears. Thanks alot and any help would be greatly appreciated.

if its y87 then it has 3.23 and LSD...if not then its 3.08 and open differential... if you switch gears your going to want to put in LSD when you do it since you have everything torn open then anyway. i was just assuming you have a auto... i think someone said oen time all the M5's had 3.23's in them but i might be remembering wrong1999 Black Pontiac Firebird <br />2 Rockford Fosgate P312D4 subs <br />Hifonics Brutus 1205d amp<br />Clear Sidemarkers<br />18\" Arelli Jovan Chrome Wheels -
A4 Y87s came with 3.42, not 3.23. Only M5s have 3.23. ;)
Check the codes on your door to see what you have:
GU4 - 3.08
GU5 - 3.23
GU6 - 3.42
G80 - LSD
Best bet is to look on ebay for a used torsen diff. There's been a rash of posts about that same subject lately. Just search for LSD in the drivetrain forum and you'll get a ton of results.

wow thanks alot guys, pretty fast response to. One more thing that I want to ask but I dont want to make another topic lol. I want to get the hypertech 3.8 programmer for my bird what kind of top speed can I get when I remove the limiter?Comment

HPP3 doesn't have too many fans here. It's pretty much worthless. Look into getting a mail order tune from Texas Speed. You'll be much happier with that.
With no speed limiter, you'll probably be looking at somewhere around 130-140.Matt

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...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
