Dang, now I'm cofused. I wanna go to the track and wanna run my car to the best of its ability. If anything higher than 3:73s doesn't help at the track why would I get 3:90s or 4:10s, right? Or most guys here just wanna gun on the street? I think I'll be going track very little. Like I said, I'm confused haha

3.90's or 4.10's will probably help you because you'll be trapping closer to peak power than you would with 3.73's.

I really need to do gears I'm still on the 3.27's. I want to do 4.10s even though it sounds like a bad idea.

I think 4.10's with a blower would be a fun a$$ street car. But at the track youre going to be pushing it going through the traps. But for a street car, just seems like a good bit of fun as long as you have lower control arms and some decent tires and shocks and struts. lol

yeah I agree it sounds like it would pick up into the boost really quick I'm really considering doing 4.10's in the summer I don't go to the track too often.

+1 sounds like fun to me! haha Itd be so quick as long as you have some nice tires as you said.

A few months ago there was a Ride of the month in one of the mustang mags that was a termie with a whipple at like 21lbs making over 600rwhp and it had 4.30's...a woman owned it. Sexy car...but 4.30's is not smart...i would never go over 4.10's with a termie and i even think that is too much. lol and i would never go over 3.73's with a twin screw. But with a stock longblock GT with bolt ons and a centri blower, 4.10's sound like hella fun!!! Now with a KB on the stock longblock GT...3.90's or lower due to low end torque.

OMG...I can't believe someone actually did 4.30s in a terminator, I was saying it as a joke lol. The cars with the stock 3.55s is good enough.
