Default NITROUS rear gears??? 3.73 or 4.10

I dont want to shift every 2 seconds, is there much of a difference in 3.73 t0 4.10??? should i get 4.10 with the juice according to the posts above I am looking at a 400 RPM difference at 65mph with 4.10 that doesnt seem bad at all, any one who has a supercharger or nitrous what did u get?? and I have a 3650 5 speed in my car.

Most people with Kenne Bell superchargers or other twinscrew versions are choosing 3.73's because of max boost at very low RPM's. If your intending on a supercharger like these, then 3.73's might be the better choice.

Otherwise, 4.10's!

The shop I am getting mine done at (on tuesday actualy) talked me into 4.10's. he has a 99 cobra with 4.10's in it and let me drive it.. hooked much better then I thought it would. So.. I paid the restock fee and will be getting them in soon... I LOVED The way they felt. I was really afraid of traction problems in this car is why I chose 3.73's to begin with, but driving a very similar car with the steeper gears was a great persuader.

BTW, I plan on spraying a zex 100 dry shot in the near future.. exhaust is my next mod then the bottle.. I plan on spraying at wot, probably set at 3500 rpm so getting off the line will be a little easier... but I launch a little lower then most (2800-3k).

Greetings,

I have a set of 4.10s and I just got a wet kit (100 shot) for my 03 gt. Highly recommended!! Once you hit that juice...DAMN! You just need to be sure to get the right pair of shoes I have a set of Weld 15s and Nitto Drags strapped on (275/50/15). I hook just fine...

I will be taking it to Moroso tomorrow hopefully (pray for no rain, I'm in so fla, haha) and I'll shoot an update with track times. Best I've done so far is a 13.4 @105mph with only the 4.10s and a chip.

Good luck with your decision! ~Jason

well i know this shouldnt concern me BUT, i am worried about the highway thing, i get easily irritated with little issues like high rpms at 80mph..... right now with my set up i knoticed at 70mph I am doing 2000 rpm, with some of the calculators i have found I am guessing I will be 2400rpm at 70 with 4.10 and 2250 with 3.73 if thats the case i can handle 4.10 with no problems....but anyone have 1st hand info????
