Default RE: Diablosport Predator, quick question pls.

ORIGINAL: nanaki

if you're gettiing a super later, i'd keep the 4.10s (trust me) and i wouldn't bother with the diablo. it'll be worthless once you go blown. get an SCT chip and just get a mail order tune with it to calibrate your car for 4.10s. this way, when you finally get the super on, the shop can just tune your chip and you won't have to shell out a couple hundred extra bucks.
Ya I've seen a few posts by you saying that you wish you had gotten 4.10s and its one of the things that made me decide to go with 4.10s in my car. The S/C I plan to get is going to be a Centrifugal type, so I want the 4.10s to make up for the lack of immediate boost down low in my first gears. Also, I dont think it will be a problem with topping out 4th at all. Theres a guy over on MPH forums and he is running 11.4's @ 120ish mph with vortech s/c kit, 4.10s, stock shortblock, tires, and suspension. I dont plan on building the block and going for more power for quite some time, so I think I'll be ok with the 4.10s for now. Maybe later on down the road (years and years) when I do finally get a forged shortblock I'll go back down to 3.73 or something. But for the current time, I want 4.10s, especially since its gunna take me a while to get the money for the S/C and I want to have the pull of 4.10s in the mean time. lol I'll go heck out the SCT chip thing nanaki, I was just planning on getting the speedcal from mustangtuning.
