RE: 410s or 430s

I had a 4.10 and tried the 4.30, I didn't pick up any in the 1/8 or 1/4. All I lost was fuel mileage. I still have the 4.30 if you want to buy it to try.

You guys are all forgeting to ask how tall of a tire he is going to use, tire diameter has an effect on overall gear ratio and needs to be considered when choosing a gear.

i say 4.10's unless you dont want a streetable car!

+1.

And if you don't want a streetable car, might as well go with 4.56s or steeper!

This is true but most of the time people run the stock tire size.

RE: 410s or 430s

+1 on the 4.10s. My buddy has 4.30's which are great at the track. But forget driving it on the interstate, or above 55mph consistently for that matter. (He has an auto though).
