My mustang is just a weekend car that I sometimes play with I plan on going f/i within the next few months.
Would I have any traction at all on street tires with 4.30's??

Your gonna get a lot of people tellin you to go with 3.73's if your going to go f/i. If you plan on stayin n/a, then go with 4.10's. that's the general consensus on the forum.

like I said I already have 3.55's and it is going to be awhile before I go f/i anyways. Somebody told me something along the lines that 4.10's will keep me glues to the seat and sorta feel like someone kicked me in the ***...any truth to that?

3.73's cut my quarter mile time by 8/10 of a second. Should have gotten 4.10's.

We'll, words are just words. You would have to come to Dallas for me to show you what 4.10's can do for you. I will say that you will definately feel the pull of the car and the push into the seat. Major seat of the pants difference. Many say (including me) that it is the best bang for the buck you can purchase for your N/A pony.

Anybody else think 4.30's or would it just be too much also considering as of now I have street tires?
