Sorry to hear that man. What was your original gear size? I've read that 3.23 to 3.42 isn't much of a noticable gain. You drive a manual or automatic? For manuals, I think 3.73 are the option of choice. But I could be wrong. -
thats really wierd, because i've heard quite few people now say they can barely feel a difference going 3.08-3.42. then others say there's a world of difference. i dunno man

i really think i could feel a difference. i dunno for sure. i think the reason you cant chirp the tires is the lsd is working rightComment

I spin the sh!t out of first and chirp second still. But then again I have 3.73's and the ground pounding force of the 3.4 :cool:Comment

I doubt that anything's wrong with your LSD.

I went from 3.23 to 3.42 and hardly felt a difference.
I do a lot of highway driving so I though the 3.42s would be best, but I wish that I went with 3.73s.1996 Silver Camaro, Y87, M5, cammed..<br />N/A Best Time: 14.012 @ 98.59<br />195 rwhp / 233 ft-lbs b/f heads/cam<br />Check out my site <a href=\"http://silver3800.cz28.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://silver3800.cz28.com/</a>Comment

no he said your lsd is working. since now the power is being sent to both wheels instead of 1, giving you better traction<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/briansr\" target=\"_blank\">97 White Pontiac Firebird 3.8 A4</a><br />Mods- 2.75\" exhaust, Dynomax muffler, magnaflow cat, SLP CAI, Hypertech 160* thermo, Fan switch<br />Suspension-Kumho Ecsta 712\'s, 32mm/19mm sway bars<br /><br />Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, don\'t fail us now. <br />-Elwood BluesComment

funny... I went from 3.23s to 3.42s and am very happy, I wouldn't want much more gearing then this other then autocrossing, I hated the losss of power from 65-90.
I wouldn't want anything different then my 3.42s, once I get to the top end of the track my car starts losing power, could be becuase of my motor or the gears.
by the way I chirped or spun second hard with stock 3.23s, and open Diffy, and chirp, and occasioanly spin 2nd gear with 3.42s and lsd.Comment
