Default 4.10's vs 4.30's

I've been wanting 4.30's for a while now but I think I found a bomb *** deal on some 4.10's. Should I just go big or go home? So 4.30's or 4.10's? This is for a daily driven car...

imo 4.30's are useless unless you have cams or some type of motor that will rev to 6500. I just went from 3.73's to 4.10's and it's more than enough for a dd. at 70mph I'm at around 2800rpm. with 4.10's and a 26" tire I should be able to get up to 113 in 3rd gear which is good for the nitrous. however with 4.30's i'd be limited to about 107. so since i cant really rev over 6k i'll stick with 4.10's.

4.10s or bust on a 2v

I'd only recommend higher on a car capable of ~7000rpms for obvious reasons stated above

Since it's daily driven as well, i'd go with the 4.10's personally.

4.10's. Only reason to go higher is if you're planning a monster of an n/a engine and will need the gear.

I have 4:10s in my 2V GT and hate them .
I would love to swap them for 3:55 but I dont want to pull the axle apart.
I just rebuilt it

If there was someone in my area that wanted to do a swap I would consider it if their axle was as good condiction as mine.

I darg race with my GT and the gears are killing me in 1\4 mile trapping at 98 mph, very poor trap speed
