They say you lose top end but quarter mile should be fine. Just have to manage tire spin when you bump up to 4:10s

You're fine as long as you don't get to the brick wall aka 140 mph.

I have the 4:10's in my GT and I LOVE them. I can still keep up on the freeway also but I have cams to help on my top end.

I am N/A but I have the BBR(garbage IMO) cams. They are tapping like a cheap folex watch so I am about to upgrade to the Comp cams. The loss of low end was annoying but after some delete plates I picked up some torque that helps out. Top end is good but I didn't get the numbers in rwhp I was looking for. Lesson I learned that I should stick with proven equipment. I am gonna do it right this time with cam phase adjusters and go as aggressive as I can.

Make sure you get the right cams as some are good for F/I and some are good for N/A.
