Pffft...

4.30's>Jebus

My '98 had about every bolt on, PI swapped, full exhaust, intake, BLAH BLAH BLAH.... and then teh 4.30's.

I was running pretty close to Nanaki and he's S/C'd w/ 3.73's.

4.30's rock.

4.30s would kill you on the highway or in the snow tho but they seem fun on a good day

Never killed me on the highway. It felt like I was driving a car with 50 more HP on the highway infact. Don't buy into the BS intardnet rumors

Please Dan I could do that with my little sisters Honda. Maybe 4.30's are great but that video is worthless. : ) Yikes - Don't smoke that stuff anymore.

Hahahaha, originally when I made that video, someone asked me to get a sound clip. It just so happened I had all my mods installed on my car, you can definitely tell by how fast it revs out of first & 2nd gear (when I finally floor it) that 4.30 gears aren't *too short* and that they really liven up a N/A 2v.

OVERDRIVE transmission makes a big huge differance, get out of the 60's with your thinking. BTW I had a 4:88 in my Nova
