im getting gears soon and I just for future plans I want to know at what speeds will each 5th gear get to for 4.10's and for 3.73's?

i dont want to be limited to anything when i eventually get FI

howarmat

you wont be limited by the gear....you will by drag of the car.

In theory the 4.10s might even be better because it can help put more grunt into the wind. i dont regret 4.10s at all

Allstar

yeah i have been sold on 4.10's the entire time.. i just wanna make sure if i ever.. well.. need to hit 200mph.. i can haha

after future mods of course..

love my 4.10's as well and you need power to get up there near the top of 5th...

Allstar

understood but i just want to do everything ONCE ya know.

i just dont want to have to do the gears twice but i have big plans (long term) for the car and i'd like to be in the super snake area (725 HP)

howarmat

you are worried about the cost of gear but yet trying to build something to 725 HP range....seriously? you are going to break tons of **** on your way to that HP range. You better have a huge budget if you are serious

Allstar

lol.. well its not the money of the gears im worried about, just for the simple thought in my head that i dont wanna have to do the same mod TWICE

of course alot of things are going to have to be replaced on the way.. but i dont have anywhere near the money for the 725 hp range yet.. that kinda HP isn't going to come to me for probably another 2 years but im looking to be in 400's by the end of this year

What kind of forced air you talking about? A turbo or centri you could do the 4.10's cause it won't be kickin' in so soon. Roots or twin screw the 3.73 might be your better bet.

Allstar

yeah see this is what i was thinking. thats what I was trying to determine because im on the fence still about S/C or turbo.. I hear they got some new turbos out without "turbo lag" :-)

You can always use a shot of nitrous to quickly spool the turbos.
