Yes, most of them are 168 tooth (every one that I've ever had), some are 153 tooth but not many.

Funny, my ZZ-3 came with a 153 tooth now that I think of it. I could hear my new starter spinning but that's about all I heard. The damn starter gear was an inch or two from the flexplate! BTW, I still have that flexplate, any takers?

1,000 more RPM's than stock, that should put you at 2200-2600 stall. That's a good stall for the street. TCI does make great stuff, you should be happy with that one, price is good too.
