3200 stall + 4.30 gears = good time!

Nice time in the 1/4.... that's interesting that I trap at 120.5@11.97. My car must excelerate in the upper regions better than yours, no flame bro, just my humble opinion.

Idk about auto cars but I went from 373s to 410s then just back the 373s couple months ago because I was topping out in 4th in the 1/4 and I plan on making more power

What wheel and tire combo are you running out back that you topped out with 4.10s.

I swapped from 3.73 to 4.10 on my 5spd car about a year ago. There is a difference in performance. If you can do the work yourself, I say absolutely do the 4.10s. I don't think I would go to 4.30s if it is a DD car.

^^ thats another thing is this cars a true dd, i'm driving it right now thru the winter. if it was more just a track car i'd do 4.30's. also, i heard anything under a 3800 stall is about useless so i'll be going with atleast a 3800. i think that plus 4.10's will wake this thing up.

4.10's with an auto is a great street/strip gear. My LSC has an AODE wide ratio gearset, 4.10's, 3500 stall converter and 26" tall Mickey DR'S When i switched from 3.73's to 4.10's, my trap rpm increased about 300/400 rpm.
