Losing top end with 4.10's??? NO WAY!!!
Just thought I would let you guys that have yet to decide on what gear know that you WONT lose top end at all with 4.10's.
A buddy and I were on the way home from the bar last night and he asked me to floor it and see what it could do. I was on I 35 at 3:00am in the morning just south of Waco, Tx. on the flattest, straightest piece of highway you could find and there was absolutly no traffic for as far as you could see either way. I went into 3rd at 70 mph then into 4th and soon into 5th and about ten seconds later I was tapping on the needle stopper just past 150. Im assuming I was doing 155 or so.
All this "115-120 tops" is a load of BS if you ask me. Yes, I am a full bolt on GT but the only thing I could see helping my top end is the 70mm TB (stock plenum) and LT headers. I hit 150 so easy. 4.10's are by fay the way to go and if I was going to stay NA I would invest in some 4.30's myself.
Just thought I would fill you guys in.

alot of people are handycapped or lazy,and don't know where 5th gear is[&:]
thats why they say 112/120 tops.hell 4rth at 6200rpm i can still hit 125mph.

Im hoping I have the Kenne Bell next week and if so then the Mac 70mm TB, chip, & UD pulleys will be for sale and what ever else I can get some money for. I might sell the intake for a good deal also. Dunno yet.

Im buying his 1.7 intercooled @ 9psi for now but as soon as I become a civilian and make the money I deserve then im gonna forge out the bottom end and get the 2.2 and blow like 20+ psi through that puppy.

Yep 4.10s are the way to go, only problem is if ya gotta commute on the highway to work. Lotsa high rpms. Good luck with the KB JD its love to see you pushing 20psi later on

hey JD I might hit ya up on that chip, my saleen powerflash is junk, too conservative, I have full bolt ons as soon as the MAF, headers and midpipe get in, ntm the timing thing.
