I didn't look at the polls either, and the only advice would be consider EVERYTHING!
Tire size and weight have both been mentioned, as has driving habits. It all matters. I used the stock rear end in my 1974 GTO with original 4-speed, and an ultra-wide ratio transmission (1st gear 3.42:1). With the modified 350, first gear is basically useless at WOT unless you like tire smoke! Car weighs less than 3200, well, more with me in it. But, at my age, I don't often need WOT. I could probably tub the rear fenders (I won't), and add wider wheels with ultra wide tires and stop the smoke, but I like it the way it is. Jon

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
