What are your plans with the car ?
Street,Strip,Cruiser ?
Being a 3.55 has nothing to do with howling. It was either set up wrong or just a bad set of gears.

Its mainly a street car. Before installing the rear end I had the gear shop tear it down and they warned me the gears were shot but I didn't have the money at the time to swap em out. A few months later, rear end in, it howls. So I'm for certain its a bad set of gears.

The gear shop is suggesting 3:73 for a little better bite.

I'll mainly use the car for around town and the occasional highway ride, to a show etc.
