lol that's as high as you are going to want to go. It will be MUCH quicker on the take off. Consider some sticker tires if you don't already have them.

Are you running an automatic? If so, consider a tranny kit also.... ;)

4.10's auto or manual. Well...Personally, I'd go with 4.30's for a 5-speed.

Shift kits are a must in autos. Not as fun and not worth running with anything less. Of course, you could always do a little better and run a manual valve body.

If you want 4th gear to top out at 100mph...

but whats your top speed in 4th gear?

RE: people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have 3.55s and 4th tops out at about 120, so I can't even imagine 4.30s, 410s would be too much too.

skumbee 09-29-2006 07:57 PM

RE: people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
soo 3.55's or 3.73??????? cuz i want my car 2 take off preaty fast yeah and i heard that 4.10's r good but top speed is not that high

If I had it to do all over again, I'd go with 3.73's.

OUr car has 3.73s and a 5-spd. Its had a little head work and it will jump and tak ehte f*** off in a hurry. Works really good when You get pissed at someone.

Don't forget about 3.90s guys! That's what I've got, they're the perfect ring and pinion.

I have 3.55s and love them. I'm glad I didn't get any lower gears.

RE: people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
pretty much everyone here will be biased to one or the other... the reason is that's all they know cause they've never had both

i know i haven't but i'd rather stick with the 3.73's with my stick
