It will have traction issues? Like how so? And what will it do? I get on the highway not much but i do go alot of other places will it be bad on my engine,i also have to tell you that the trans. has been tearing up i cant go over 55 when im going 50 or 55 its up to like 3500 rpm's and its been like this for a LONG time and it hasnt hurt my engine yet(which i have to tell you that im getting it rebuilt in a week or two im already in line for it) so i really dont think 4.10's would hurt any engine going on the highway alot i really dont think so,plus im building my dart block soon hopefully so i want have to stick with that old miled up stock block

I have 4.10's in my 5 speed and i loved them when they got installed, you should get a good kick out of them. I'm not sure how its going to be on the freeway with an auto i dont know the ratios prob. pretty bad though. I'm at 80 at about 2700 rpm with my 5spd but i dont drive it on the freeway alot so it dont bother me.

4.10's are great for n/a cars. but if you plan on adding a power adder later, i would go 3.73. i know from experience im trapping 5500rpms on a motor that peak power is at 4600rpms[:@]

Im planning on adding a dart block with a paxton novi 2000 at 15 psi of boost so i will need 3.73's then? Cause im hoping to have well around 600 to 700 rwhp.

nah if you get yur tranny fixed and get some drag radials youre traction will be better and 4:10 will be fine. its all personal preference and application type really.

you need to know what heads cam intake and power adder your going to run so you can have a idea of peak hp rpms. then you gennerally want to trap 100-300 rpms above that.
so wh at im saying is it depends on the motor your building"peak hp rpm5500 or 6500". stock motors like mine are not going to peak any higher than 5000rpms then on the spray your peak ussually drops 100-200 rpms.
