He answered that... it was wrecked.
Personally, I'd put some 3.23s in the rear, a smaller ball bearing turbo, a decent tune, and thrash the heck out of that thing. It'd be a fun car.
At least for a couple weeks, when you'd have to buy new tires for the rear..

As Dave said below your post, If it is a stock Ty motor, Then I would go with the 3.08 gears.:tup:

Re: just wanted to introduce my whip
so the 4.10s are pretty much not healthy to run with it then? what gear do you think would be good with vortecs and a mild/bigger cam?

Re: just wanted to introduce my whip
The more torque you make the less gear you need. Turbo vehicles need to "Load" the engine and a tall gear un-loads the engine. A Tall gear 3:73 and up is for engines that make poor torqe and more HP.
Most turbo engines don't have any trouble making torque.
The recomended ratios above 3:23 with 26" tall tire would be perfect.
I run a Turbo Buick engine in my F-body and am going down in gear ratio from 3:50 to 3:25. I run a 9"Ford rear end in it with South Side Lift bars (No torque arm) and coil overs in the rear.
I had a 89 Camaro the same color as your bird.. Love the F-body's in that color. Looks fun!
A FMIC would be a great first mod from where you are.

Re: just wanted to introduce my whip
....by fmic do you mean turning it into a air to air front mount, becuase i have the factory liquid front mount mounted in front of my radiator- unfortunatley it doesnt get much airflow there either because of there being no grill, so if you have any ideas for that would be cool, and as for the fact that im puting vortecs on it witha bigger cam you would recommend 3.08 or 3.23 with the size tires on my car?

Re: just wanted to introduce my whip
Yes I was talking about going with a front mount Air/Air Intercooler. The fans will always pull air across a front mount Air/Air where a liquid to air that comes stock on Ty's get heat soaked quickly when driving.
Wtih the Vortec's and cam I still think a 3:23 would a good choice. All GN's/Sy/Tys came with 3:42's. It's also a great ratio. If your eventually going to be really putting down some power then the 3:23's is somthing you'll grow into. The stock Camaro rear is weak.. just be aware of that with sticky tires.
