Performance:
Got the car w/ a 305 and 200r4 from a 1987 Monte Carlo and 2.41 rear gear differential!! Eventually got bored with that so one by one over several years, I replaced all that. First came the 385 stroker in 2004 and then 3.42 gears from a 2001 z28 and an eaton posi a few months later. Finally, in March 2006, replaced the weak, abused 200r4 with a fully rebuilt and tricked out 700r4.
