how do you like your 4:10s with the 6 speed

ORIGINAL: Crazy04Snake

i have a 4.10 and im going through the traps high in 4th near redline. its somewhere around 6k. i wouldnt say its too much gear. still made a big difference going from stock 3.55 to 4.10

3:73s are just too high, youll need more of a lower gear. i thought a 3:90 was a good medium[8D]

Well I was mis informed for sure, lol My bad. I do still lik my 3.73's though. I guess since it's not a major hard core track car, it's good enough for me.
I base everything off of track performance. For a non-track car a 3.73 would be a good compromise. Sorry if I seemed rude......I'm a bit hard core and my coffee hasn't kicked in yet[8D][8D]

Don't take this the wrong way, but arn't you the one on here still running at 6.5 or whatever PSI?

As the WHP numbers increase, the need for gear decreases. A 4.10 in my car would just be too short in 1st/2nd. Until the suspension work it would simply fry the tires in 1st and usually in 2nd.

Hell, I was perfectly happy with my 3.73s with only 280 WHP though.. I never felt the need for a shorter gear.
dude are you talking to me?????

Yeah, I may have you confused with someone else?

I just can't see having anything steeper than the 3.73s in the car now, unless it was a track only setup. 1st and 2nd are just too short, and on the wrong pavement I am fighting for traction with the 315 nittos.

Even if you have a auto, stick with 3.73. I have traction problems and have 315's on the rear. I have the car shifting at 6400 rpm and roost the tires from 1st to 2nd on the shift and it's squirely from 2nd to 3rd gear. Im working on my suspension right now and hopefully it will plant the tires allot better.

was waiting to hear from someone with an auto.. lols, hearing this I think I should buy the 3.5's since I'm gonna be going with a kb/aggressive lantech auto tranny
