Ok, i got lucky and get a chance with a do over for my gears for free. Long story short, Got 2 sets of Motive 3.90's installed and they both whined. Now i get a redo for free and can pick any gear i want.

SO... my future plans include a Centri supercharger (either vortech or procharger), but that will probably be between 6-12 months away. I was thinking going 4.10's so i have the fun factor now, but i dont want to be screwed with NO traction once i get my S/C. I want usable power, not just looking cool by being able to spin my tires through the first 3 gears while getting my *** owned by some POS ricer.

Does anybody have 4.10's with a centri S/C and how do you feel about it? Do you love it or wish you had 3.73's?

well when MD used to run this forum he had 4.10 and changed out to 3.73 and regret every day he had the 3.73's in and he was SCed

master do you like your euro tails?

yeah he said that, but I don't see how the heck you can get traction in 1st or even 2nd with the 4.10s and even nitto drag radials.

I run nittos and until I get them heated up they blow off like crazy. It depends on how you are gonna set the car up though.

On a otherwise stock car making 360~ whp it would probably be ok to run 4.10s. Anything over 400 WHP and I would think 3.73s are the way to go.

yep, much as i hate to say it, gotta agree with 2000gt on this 1, 3.73s and a s/c will be enough to giv u a hand full without some decent tires

Talk to nanaki, hes got over 400 rwhp and will never let the forum forget about people talking him into 3.73s over 4.10s with a vortech

I'm in the process of getting a SC right now and I have 4.10s.. So, I can't speak for certain but I plan on spending some money to get a good, wide, sticky drag radial to help plant the power... I'm sure 1st will be tricky but once the car is rolling I think 2nd should be ok.. I know 1st gear is important but if you can plant the power in 2nd & 3rd I think you can win most races.. Not to mention 70% of races these days are from a roll so I'd rather have the 4.10s..

I have a vortech v1, full bolt ons and 4.10 with 315 nittos and my i dead hook on the street all the time with a dual friction clutch. As long as you have good tire you'll be fine, and Nitto's are great tires, I've dumped mine in the rain a couple of times and they don't spin that bad in first or second, now if you slam second in the rain, or third.....thats a different story....

3.73s man....4.10 will cost you in the 1/4 with a S/C setup IMHO of course

If anyone here can hook with 4.10s w/ a SC and street tires will be my new lord!
