Quick Performance Ring & Pinion

[PontiacHO]

The only source that I can find a 3.08 rear end ratio for my 1968 Firebird rear end ( BOP 8.2) is through this company.

Has anyone used any of their ring and pinion kits? Were they quality parts and with a good result (quiet)?

I've been ordering Lube Lockers thru them like a mad man on Amazon. That said, this is obviously not "their" brand

They include a flyer with each purchase and I contacted my buddy because he lives in their backyard in Ames IA. He said the company overall is straight-up legit and he purchases gears from them when needed (he does occasional 4x4 builds)

Have you contacted them? I doubt they're having gear sets made just for them, but most likely including one of a handful of big names based on availability and market conditions.

They're in the next town over from me - they use Yukon products almost exclusively. Super popular company that has been doing good work. Nothing wrong with Yukon - they built a Ford 9.75" diff for me with a Yukon Duragrip limited slip. No issues whatsoever.

I purchased the exact unit you posted (I'd have to go back to double check) for my 10 bolt rear end on the '69 Camaro as it was a one-wheel peel car originally. I didn't buy the complete kit, just the posi unit. I purchased Richmond 3.73 gears to go with it. It's been over four years or so now with many successful hard burn outs. I would definitely purchase again if I had to do it over.

Actually I have contacted them. The kit for my Firebird has an adapter to use the GM 8.2 ring and pinion in my BOP 8.2 housing. I think the gear set in the link is an offshore setup.

So when you contacted them and asked about gear manufacturer, what was the response?

Sort of sidestepped it with “it’s made in another country but they’re good quality”.
