rear gears

Does anyone have any suggestions for rear end gear changes? I heard you can get alot more torque. Also how much does it cost to have them installed?

Torque doesn't change, it just gets multiplied quicker. Cost would run you over 600.00 for an IRS set up. I would reccommend 4:10's if you don't plan to drag race a lot or 4:30 thru 4:56 if you do plan to run the strip all of the time.

Your mileage may vary.

From what I've read, the 3.55's are great gears for these cars. Our terminators make more torque than your average 4valve car, plus it comes on in a hurry. I think the money for your gears would be better spent somewhere else. Just my 2 cents though.
