Damm you are a post *****.

I am currently having traction problems in 1st and some in 2nd with the 3.73s. I don't think I would go much higher if you are serious about the blower and plan on running nothing stickeyer than nitto drag radials.

I could see running 4.10s on a blower car if you were running some MT/ET streets etc, and the car saw alot of track. Gonna be hell hooking up on the street though.

3:73's with a supercharger, you could pull of 4:10's with a centrifugal blower, but I would stick with 3:73's. If you get a kb, defanitly no more than 3:73's.

I agree with them... I don't know if i'd make that jump to 4.10's - unless like they said I had some drag slicks... lol. but I still might not even go that low - i'd probably stay 3.73 or no higher then a 3.90 - that's one of the reasons I didn't go low as 4.10 because i plan on some FI next year...

Yes the key is that you are going to have to build your suspension.

Nitto drag raidals in 275, on the stock rims. The entire suspesion is stock atm, but there is a set of lower/upper control arms and some subframe connectors waiting on the garage floor, if I can ever get some time off to install them.

Hopefully I will get some time off next weekend and get the control arms in. I think I am gonna have mid coast weld in the subframes, they quoted me 80 bucks, and I am afraid to get the car at a funny angle and weld it all screwed up
