Default BIG PROBLEM!!!

alright guys, i had my 4.10s installed about a month ago telling myself I'm not going to get any type of forced induction. well... i changed my mind and decided to order a turbo. is there any way to keep tiresthese from spinning through gears? i would hate to have to spend another 550 on 3.73s. ive talked to a few people on this site an they've said 4.10s and FI isn't that bad. although, at the track with sticky tires ill see some nice times but this is a daily driver. any suggestions?

I don't think that going from 4.10 to 3.73 is going to make that much of a difference. I'd stick with the 4.10's, if you are having issues then maybe go down to 3.55...

+1 when I had my 90 GT I bought some 3:73s off a kid who put twin turbos on his 95 GT and needed to go down to 3:55s, like you have to now. He made one pass at the strip with them and it just wasn't gonna work...

Get a taller tire. Problem solved and it will look a hell of a lot better IMHO.

Of course no tire is going to drop your gear ratio down to 3.73. Bigger tire on the back FTW!

3.73s with a KB blower. No problems with wheel spin.

stick a 29.2 inch tire back there and your final gear ratio will be 3.83, that's a nice ratio. If you are lowered it might look funny, but if you aren't it'll look bad *** IMO. I'd probably go with a little taller tire in the front to even it out.

If you go turbo I would keep the 3.55s.

Supercharger I would go with 4.10s.
