thats a general "rule" mainly used as a guideline for a car thats used very often in the streets, or as a DD..i had/have 3.73s in mine and loved them.

but i agree, for a weekend car, go 4.10s

well you didn't say until now and 4 .10's will get you to launch quicker and sustain a taller drag tire and still retain launch capabilities my 3.73's are great but when I have my 26X10.5x15 mickey t's on sometimes there is a slight bogg unless I hold the r's up real high
