250 rpm from 3.73 to 4.10

so about 125 from 3.90 to 4.10

anyone who is afraid to go fast should stay away from 4.10 cuz it is the optimal gear for the 1/4 mile

peeps who who want to run honda civic ET's should go 2.73 they are good on gas, 4.10's you'll drop like a rock all the way down to 21 mpg , and run 13 second et's 100% stock

well it depends on the setup. 3500 might be fine for urs, maby not. contact a couple good tq compaines and se what they say. Edge Racing converter will run $569 & i think im not off by much on that.
