Gears! I love my 3:73s. Cheapest way to make your car faster.

I'm throwing 4.10's in my Mach when I get the cash to have some more kick in the pants for a DD.

I trapped at 105 with cams and tb plenum and catback. 4.10 NA in a 1/4 will be fine im blown with 4.10s and I am going thru the tramps at 6100 im fine. Trapping at 115

SEATS!

If you are still running those OEM pieces of absolute CRAP, you have a hard enough time just staying behind the wheel! Everything else on the list only looks to move you around in the seats, just making the situation worse

In order of mods for the SN95 and particularly the NE, as explained by Tony Montana:


First you get the seats, then you get the tires and brakes, then you get the suspension and then you get the powa!

Jazzer says seats

I actually had to step backward from the 4.10 gear due to turning too many rpm in the 1/4. Was trapping 110-111mph with 4.10 and cams in my car(that was as high as I wanted to spin it). When I added nitrous, I picked up too many mph to run 4.10 and had to drop back to 3.90 gears. I'm still spinning a few more rpm than I wanted, but I plan to stick with the 3.90 and take my chances.

There is nothing wrong with 3.73 gears for a DD car. It is far better than the 3.27 that came in it, but there are no downsides to stepping up to 3.73. Only do 4.10 in your DD if you truly want to maximize your drag performance.
