Rear Gears - Summit vs. Richmond
I'm currently running a 3.73 rear gear in my GM 8.5 10 bolt with a Turbo 350 trans. I'd like to swap these gears out for something closer to 3.23 .... my daily commute is 60 miles each way and I want to drop my rpms a bit to make this an enjoyable drive.
My question is in regard to quality ... the Summit Racing gears (and install kit) are significantly more affordable than the Richmond gears (and install kit). Is this an example of 'you get what you pay for'? How do the Summit gears compare, and will I be happy with them?
Thanks
