RE: Something for you to ponder over.

I'm also in agreement with Richard and Rob because I've also done this. A few summers ago I decided to do some drag racing. I put together a 4.11 posi rear and swapped out the 3.50 posi rear and went racing. Now, that thats out of my system....(yea, right) and I'm doing more cruzing now, I've put the 3.50 back in.

Rearend gears are just like everything else - it all depends on what you're doing with the car at the time. There is no 'bad' or 'good', or 'better', etc.. If your wanting to go racing, lower gears (4.11, 4.56) are obviously the better choice because your mainly concerned about going a short distance the fastest way possible (1/8 or 1/4 mile). If your wanting a more all around gear for highway use, cruising, occasional stoplight fun, a taller gear (3.25, 3.50) is more desirable. Plus, with a 9 inch and the simplicity of swapping out the cogs, having several rearends to choose from is the only way to go. With a good floor jack, I think I can change one out in about 45 minutes by myself. Good luck and hope this helps...
