I'm getting an email tune from Eric Brooks and there's a place to put which gears I have, so will that take care of that?

And since the auto doesnt go as low rpm's as the t-3650 in O/D will I be getting a lot worse mpg with 4.10's? If so my dad will not let me buy them =/

4:30's or you're wasting your time. MPG is a byproduct of where you keep your foot when you drive. but also remember, you can't always have your cake and eat it too. If you want to cruise at 85mph on the freeway and be a jack rabbit off the line you have to give up a little from top end in the way of mpg. How much does 1 or two MPG actually cost you? Not much in my book.

Steep gears are great for inner city driving even if you have to take off in second gear to avoid shifting every 3 seconds in stop and go traffic. I actually think it's ideal.

4.10s at the very minimum I wish I would have went with a 4.30 or 4.56 in my old gt.

damn i wish i got that much, but my miles per tank before 4.10s was about 250 and it still is 250 after the 4.10s, i drive about 60 miles highway round trip to work a day. i was very skeptical about getting 4.10s, all my co workers kept saying thats too much and how im gonna suck on gas but it didnt change at all, and im pretty sure theres only a 300 rpm difference between 3.73s and 4.10s at cruising speeds so 3.90s and 4.10s its probably around 150 rpms

Okay, I'll go with the 4.10's. So can I get my transmission calibrated for them on the email tune from Brooks Speed?

IDK about brooks speed, but if they have the ability to send you an email tune for your diablo with updated gear ratio in it, then sure it will work

Eric brooks is really good if I had the time I would take my car down to him and have him tune it. There is a guy on actor that I know got his 03 cobra email tuned by him and is now running 9s on stock 6 speed and irs

Don't link that F'n site here.


Eric Brooks is cool. His wife on the other hand is a Bitch that needs a good Godly bitch slap. I've wished many times to be able to reach through the computer flush her down the the toilet ....But that's another story.



blowncobragirl
Lying, two faced, internet cheating ***** who likes to display her stupidity across the internet with her rediculous statements that resemble fecal matter. She enjoys typing to hear her keys click. Large, ugly, and just unattractive in a physical nature; she should be avoided at all costs to prevent blindness. She is approximately the size of a full grown cow.
I left a blowncobragirl (****) in the toilet.


BlownCobraGirl
A very large obese smelly girl who flirts with ugly fat men on the internet. Part time phone sex operator, full time ****. She enjoys black penises jammed firmed in her bloody rectum. Note: You can drive a truck up her ***, do a K-turn, open the doors, and still not touch the **** walls. **** sex of this proportion requires thousands of simultaneous black penises to properly fill her anus up.
