Default running out of gear

im 95% sure i wanna order a set of 4.10's but ive been wondering lately if i would run out of gear with 4.10's...eventually i WILL be goin f/i and many many mods are to come so my car is only gonna get faster. i drive an 03 gt auto. do you guys honestly think i would run out of gear with the 4.10's ?? i do some highway driving but its usually under 50 or 60 miles a trip. people have told me that 4.10s woulndt be enough.. what do you think?? will i be fine with the 4.10's??

I belive the general concensus is : 5-spd: 4.10s, Auto- 3.73's

Dude you got it all wrong. With an auto you usually go deeper. manual- 3.90's/ 4.10's auto- 4.10's/4.30's

I have a friend that just put 3.90s in his auto and he loves them. He says they are perfect for that car.

If you use any kind of a blower that makes good boost you will run out! An auto with a s/c no more that 3.73's 3.55's with an auto.
