I found a complete rear end out of a 2004 GT a few minutes ago for $300.00 so I will go that way so I don't have to cut and weld. I bought a new T2R this morning and the gears a few weeks ago. Now I just have to camber it and get a little toe in it. Al is going to do that for me. LOL.

Someone please tell me why the gearing on a CMC car makes so little difference. Big shock when Aaron and later Kevin were so fast using 3:27 gears. I would have thought the 3:73 or 4:10 or even higher would have made a big difference in acceleration. Bryan and I can come out of a corner and with his 4:10's and my 3:31's it's almost a dead heat. I personally like shifting less but I don't understand why that is not a huge disadvantage.

I was going to say, it's worth it to look for the right year housing. The gearing is going to depend on the track, I did well with 3.31's, no 4-5 shift at TWS or COTA, etc. I think the higher gears mostly help with drag racing where you can put down the power, you can cut a good amount off your 60ft with a good tire and a lot of gear to get it out of the hole.
