Default 3.55 vs 4.10

ok well as you can see from my sig my gt has a 3.55 in it now...well it seems like it could use a little help taking off...would a 4.10 be too low for the car with our mods??

No it won't be to much, the onl problem you may have with it is traction.

The one big question you have to ask yourself is " are you going to F.I." it cause if you do ur going to have fun traction problems. I am actually going down to 3.73 to try and get traction.

imo , if you don't use 4.10's just leave it stock cuz why bother

3.73 just just doesn't have what it takes on a non-turbo car to get the job done

you'll tach about 3000 doing 85, and through the traps at about 5200-5300

my mickey radials hook low 1.7's on 3000 launch spraying it from the hole.
