Highest I could find on the bay are 3:55's. There are lots of 3.73, 3.91 and up

I have not seen anything new for a while for the 489 case. There are recently new 3.23 gears available for the 742 case.

If anyone knows it will be Dr Diff...

I recently picked up a used complete center section with 3.23's for my 489 case because I could not find new 3.23 ring/pinion for the 489

I actually got a complete drop in center section with really nice gears for $100 buxs! They are out there just need to dig a little...........

If you want the ultimate in high gears, I have a set of 2.76(ish) from my 489 case.

Let me know if are interested and I will see if I can dig em up.

Nitro does list 3.23s for 489 cases in their application listing-also 2.94s! http://www.nitro-gear.com/ring-pinions/ and scroll down the page. Has anybody actually used Nitro stuff? Really curious about the quality as I have had nothing to do with them.
