Well im pretty sure im going to need a new ring and pinion and im not sure if i should keep with the 3.42s or go with a 3.23. ive read the debates on here but am not sure yet. I run 25.7" tall tires on the street and it would be nice to be able to run them at the track without buzzing to 5900 through the traps, but then again i like using my big 28" tall slicks at the track for the sidewall wrinkle etc... Is there anybody running a 3.23 in a GN? I really like the 3.23. According to the racing calculators on TCIs site, i would be at 5500 going through the traps on my 17" wheels, where as now im at 5950. I guess shifting into OD is a viable option with the 3.42s, but it seems that when i have the car tuned optimally for the track that OD is a little lean and starts to knock a bit. I can always lock the TC but i don't want to punish the TC everytime i go to the track (im not always there for a new best). i'm also worried about my 60 fts being slower with less gear, but i can't imagine that small amount of change would really have much of an effect on the car with as much torque as it makes. I know TTAs came with a 3.27 and some would say apples to oranges when comparing the two, but honestly other than the aero differences its pretty much the same package, the TTAs are no lighter than a GN from what ive seen. Thanks guys
