What do you guys think??

Sounds like RICHMOND GEAR to me. They will probably last forever but if you want it quiet, replace it with OE, US GEAR, YUKON or just about anything other than RICHMOND.

yeah it's a high pitch whine gets preety noise when you hit their sweet spot. Guy that put mine in says that's all he runs in his race cars and he pushes them well over the 800 mark. So I figure to me they are pretty well bullet proof.

Most all of aftermarket gears wine. I had 3.42 motives and they wined.

If my richmond gears whine I can't hear it over the headers and radio. I like a good whinning sound it usually comes from superchargers,....or loosers.
