A few questions..... I am very curious to know, what kind of improvements will I see with installing 4.10 gears in my car. I am having this done this week. Like does it knock .2 seconds off 0-60 and mabye .4 of a second off 1/4 mile times?

Also with all the modifications I have including, the SCT flash tuner, and stage 1 cams and 4.10 gears. what do you guys think my 0-60 times will be? I know 5.6 is stock... I am hoping somewhere in the 4's but does anyone know. I have a G-tech pro, I could read it but I get suck crappy traction and the weather is so ****ty here I really cant do much. Thanks.

 

I wouldn't even want to guess what your 0-60 times would be, but you may want to look at some suspension upgrades as well like upper/lower control arms, those will definately help with traction problems and also improve 0-60 times a lil. As Emann, he just put some on his gt.

 

Without more HP you will not see 4.XX second 0-60 times.

And 5.8 - 6.0 is a more realistic 0-60 number for a 99-04 GT.

 

I have already recorded on my G-tech pro a time of 5.6 seconds 0-60 with a completely stock motor. Now I have modifications and I am curious to know what my 0-60 times will be now with the nods I have now. And also how many tenths of a second will 4.10's take off my 0-60mph times. I am mostly curious to what the 4.10s will do.

 

With 4.10s you will rip through 1st gear like a madman. Its fun as hell!! It'll probably be the same because you will be shifting sooner and getting way more than a chirp from second. If I power shift 1st to second I can almost loose the road until I let off for a second to catch road. That is with my stock goodyears. With DR's it would probably be much better. The 4.10's are worth every penny, and thats the gear the 99-04 GT's should have came with.

 

Highly agree! 4:10 are $$$, I love mine to no end... If you get good rubbers and have a flawless hookup run, you'll definatly see low 5's in your 0-60. If your a awesome driver you may see 4's, but you'll for sure see 5.2 - 5.0's...

 

ive been trying to figure out if having sticky tires would help your time to get to 60 mph at all....before you call me retarded, listen for a second

In a 1/4 ET,, the lower the 60' (more traction) the LOWER the trap speed
but with less traction (higher 60') the trap is higher...

so,,how does this work when measuring 0-60mph times?

would scratching the tires a tiny bit be your best bet with a decent suspension and fair tires be teh best time? OR

would a good suspension set up with some killer tires and a 6K dump with no spin be your best time to 60mph?

 

VERY VERY good point man. Hooking up like a **** will not yeild the acceleration times you are looking for. If you hook from a 6k dump with a small bit of spinning you will see the best 0-60 times.

 

Optimal accleration is slight hazing of the tires, not a hard full stick launch.

In terms of what your 0-60 will be. No where near 4 seconds. 4.10s usually yield 2-3ths in the quarter, 3-4 if you can launch the car.

To get in the 4's you are going to need a bit more time and money invested.

I have esesntailly the same mods you list in your sig, minus LT and a MAF and I can run 13.6xx witha 1.9 60'ft and spinning in 2nd. In the 8th the car just breaks in to the 7's at 8X mph.

 

G-Tech Pro = Junk
