Default Gear Expectations!!!!????

I'm doing gears tomorrow and just wondering what gains all of you with gears are getting? Remember that I am going from 2.73s to 4.10s so i'm taking quite the leap. The track doesn't open here till May so I won't be able to test it so I'm counting on you guys. Thanks

I have had a problem with my car lately and have corrected that and it is starting to feel strong like it should making 2nd gear worthless in the rain and I have to be careful with third or sidewayz I go.and now it is going to feel even stronger, I can't wait!!!!

you are really going to like the 4.10's... traction might become an issue

I know. I should expect at least a .5 of my time right? I have heard of people cutting almost a full second off their time. Post you gains or I guess you can call it losses

2.73's were in 94-98 GT's. And they're the highest stock gears. 4.10's are lower than 2.73's. With gears the bigger the number the lower the gear.

You might want to get some duct tape and tape your hands to the wheel cause you won't be able to hold on[8D]
And make shore your seat is in the upright position and locked in place cause its going to set you back in to your seat pretty hard.[8D]
Have fun!!!!!!!!

He must have an auto. The auto's have 2.73's and the 5sp have 3.27's.
