Default 0-60 with gears?

What kind of 0-60 times have you guys established with gears on a close to stock gt?

4.10?
3.73?
3.55?

They are all good choices, but they probably only help about .1 maybe .2 seconds from 0-60, that being the 4:10 would accelerate the fastest.

3.73 would be best for 0-60 since you only have 1 shift. 4.10's would require 3rd gear until you can hit over 6500 rpm...

I really wouldnt be too concerned about 0-60 times, cuz u usually dont race to see who can get to 60 first, i would be more concerned with 1/4 and 1/8 mile times

Somebody explained it to me, i dont know if its right ot not. But having 4.10's makes the shifts shorter i know this... but it puts you in the powerband faster?

I cant explain gears very well, but basically when u change gears ur going to loose some of ur top end power and gain some at the lower RPM's, and ull also have a lower top speed. So ur shifts might get shorter since u will be increasing ur accelaration of the line, but idk how much shorter they would get

having shorter gears allows you to get into the powerband quicker helping you accelerate faster. so having the stock 3.27's it takes a while to get into higher rpms, but with say 4.56's you will be there in a heart beat. but remember power and gears are useless if you cant hook.

If you don't like speeding then you will go fast enough.
