Default need some advice...

I know I will probably be banned from the site for this question, but I did some searching and couldn't find the answer I wanted.

I am getting ready to buy gears for the stang. I know it will be FRPP gears and I am almost 100% that I want 4.10's. The only question I have is my nitrous. I am running a wet 100 shot right now and plan to continue running it. Many people I have talked to say run 3.73's with any kind of forced induction, but would it be that bad with a shot of giggle gas? I know first gear will be gone, but is there any reason not to go with 4.10's if I have nitrous, other than the obvious traction problems?

None that I know of, but yeah, 1st is going to be useless under the gas.

go atleast 4.10s, smaller shot you might want to get 4.30s

you should be fine. I am making much more power than just a 100 shot would provide, and I am not having TOO much problem with the 3.73s.

Its all in your tire. Can you run a drag radial? That would really help out first.

4.30s will KILL YOU if you do high way driving at ALL, it would be like driving 85mph everywhere ( rpm wise)

I have 4:10's and a nx 100 shot, and 1st gear is really short, but with d/r's it's usually a dead hook and I dont even have any suspension mods.
