Thats not missinformation almost every person would agree with it. not saying it cant be done its just not as good of an option. The 4.10 are not nessesary for a s/c car and you travel through gears too fast adding no speed in the 1/4. With a centri charger you can use them fine because you dont reach full boost untill high rpms the kennebell on the other had reaches full boost at 1500 rpms. the roots/screw charger go with 3.73

Not for nothing, but I'd put more stock into a person's opinion that has experience with both, albeit mine were 3.90's. It just kills me when people recite that "3.73 for a s/c 4.10 for n/a" mantra like it's gospel, especially when they haven't experience with one set up or the other. It's just what they've heard. There are plenty of people with s/c's that have dumped their 3.73's for 4.10's. Like I said. I dumped by 3.90's for 4.10's.

so its not your DD and you only do town driving, F that go with 4.30s, .62 5th gear and a 27" tall tire you will be fine, even at 80 mph if you go with a blower go 4.10s

Bam.
What didnt you like about your 3.90s that made you go to 410s? And was there that big a difference once you go there? I have 410s in mine and would like to see what a lesser gear would be like.

all you people arguing about 4.10's with a supercharger.... I dont think with a S/C it will make a huge difference between 3.73's and 4.10's so it is not misinformation it's called an opinion.

KB ran tests on 2 types of s/c. 3.73's were faster in the 1/4 than 4.10's.

In equal conditions & traction, the 4.10 car will be faster.
I vote for 4.30's

Try the search button... its to the right of calendars, to the left of Live Chat Lots of gear post already
I like 4.10s with a 3650
I like 3.73s with a T45 ----cuz to me with a T45 5th is pushing the "to low" side with a 4.10 gear.
gear calculator
use this^ to compare gear ratio's at certain speeds, then see what you can stand

I vote 4.10's or 4.30's on a non-daily driven 2V. I have 4.10's in rearend, & would go 4.30's if I were to do it again & stay n/a. However, I am considering a built shortblock and a t-trim, so I'll probably be staying w/the 4.10.
