What do you guys think about using a ring gear spacer in a Camaro 8.2? I want steeper gears and don't have the money to replace the rearend. The rearend is in a 28 Ford Coupe and will never use slicks or banzai starts.
Those aren't that great to start with, wouldn't a s10 4x4 rear be better? It comes with 3.42 or 3.73 factory.
Purchase the correct carrier and you can leave the housing in place. I know that some ge****t makers frown on using the spacer and rightly so. Instead of the ring gear being flat against the carrier, now you've added long bolts to pull by. I would try not to use a spacer if at all possible.
I think it would be fine in that application, although I ran 4.56 on a spacer,w/slicks, 3 seasons @ searspoint Wed nites 12.70-13.00... never a problem
