New Gears (Deciding Between 3.73 and 4.10s, Maybe Steeper)
#13
Imo I would go with 3.73's at least for a stick car, but I know it's an auto... If your looking to take it to the dragstrip and what not and maybe do some stop light to stop light racing I would go with 4.10's with the auto.
I just like to be able to run fast if I'm running through the gears and in the top of 4th (in a 5sp) I don't want to have to stop at 110-115 w/o going to 5th like you would with 4.10's. That's just me though.

I personally am about to say screw it and just get 4.10's. only hesitation is traction. I guess I have this idea that even if I fart with 4.10s that my crap tires will break loose. in other words, im worried about traction. but..i never launch the car. i just tote around town in it, 2500 miles a year, very rarely on the interstate, so who cares right?

Yeah that's a good point but got a friend that has a 01 GT with 410's. Dosen't have near as many mods that I have but his car pulls real decent. My car is not a daily dirver and yes I will be taking her to the track. As we all know 2v's need every ounce of power we can get especially staying N/A.

Soldier - I don't see any suspension mods on your list. what tires are you running? did you have traction issues with 3.73s? my khumos just suck I know they'll spin like hell with 4.10s but ill get a better tire eventually.

Hey man as a matter of fact starting the suspension upgrade tomorrow. Installing subframe connectors. I am running Saleen S style rims 18 inch with summimto tires. The front tire is 265/35/18 and the rear is 285/35/18. Does tires look good but on the track they suck. Ran a 14.03 at the track. Spinned the whole 60 ft and then some. Most def gonna buy DR's when I go back next spring.. IMO, unless you're going S/C, turbo or Nos go with 410's!
