What is the top speed you get in each gear with 4:10's? I'm going to get gears next week, right now im doing 70 in the top of second and about 110 or so in the top of third, with my cams it is a b*tch to get off the line with stock gears. Will 4:10's make a huge difference over stock? Sorry kinda new to gears and didn't mean to jack the thread.

Holy **** your doing 110 in the top of third? That doesnt seem right to me. I always wound third out in the 1/4 at around 99-100ish.Yes 4.10s will make a big difference over stock and in fact you may have to get a taller tire to keep from topping out. I havent been to the track yet with my 4.10s and spray so I cant give much advice.

He'd probably run out of gear with 410's.I know I would with my supercharger. What's the top of 4th with 410's, about 110-112 mph?
That ain't fast enough, and who wants to shift into 5th?

Damn, 110 maxes it out in 5th? I didn't realize that... I just had 4.10's installed today, but I have to wait to install my new tranny before I can witness their true potential. What tire did you end up running to compensate?
Thats in 4th.

yep you run out of 4th gear at around 110 im going through the traps buring redline @ 113. If you have a handheld just make your rev limiter 6300-6400 and just get the window switch @ 6200. I run 275/45/17 Nitto Drags to give you an idea of tire size which is a little bigger than stock.

4.30's would be too much unless you built the motor. I run that gear N/A and I top out 4th at 108 with the tire I have on there now (295/35/18 - not sure on overall height). With a built motor and the ability to rev above 6k RPM, 4.30 and nitrous would be a great combo.
