Default 4.10's or 3.90's????
What should I go with guys. Finally getting it back on the road soon. Im fraid I'll run out of gear in 4th with 4:10's. I'm estimating low to mid 12's in 1/4 hopefully.
Y'all think It'll run outta 4th before I pass the traps? should I just go 3:90's

Go 3.73's in my opinion... give yourself room to grow, cause once you get 12's your gonna want 11's

I had 3:73 when the reaeend blew. It would run about 120 or so in 4th then. I just dont see myself ever hitting 120 in a 1/4. or even 110 for that matter. But it would be nice.

Right at 120. unless my speedo is off. I usually hit 6200 when I shift now. And I'm thinking about setting my governer at 6500
