gear for supercharged/turbo Gt 5 speed

RE: gear for supercharged/turbo Gt 5 speed
Hi Andrew,
This is a great question. Here is my mod list.
- Painted stripes with painted mirrors and louvers
- Painted Gauge pod/ Boost Gauge/Air fuel/Oil pressure
- Torque H/P Conv.
- M-4209 Gear 4.30
- Hood Pins
- Magnapack Exhaust
- Steeda Springs
- Carbon Fiber Dash kit
- 4FU218-020SQ Vortech 08 PSI
-Predator-Final lap tune
With this setup my car was spinning at WOT throttle all the way to 3rd. When it reaches 3rd, it went 45 degrees sideways. I posted about this before and was told the same thing. The cheapest way I could do this was to put 275s BFG DR in the back, Steeda billet trailing arm and Panhard bar.
Guess what, It doesn’t work. The damn thing won't stay on the ground. I don't know what to do other than taking that 4.30 out.
I have a feeling you will probably have the same issue with 4.10 but I could be wrong.
It would be nice if more guys here with S/C and gear experience came forward and explained how they beat this.

Making my car supercharged or turbo in the future. I dont know if I should stick with 4.10s or switch to 3.73 when I get the turbo any suggestions?

If your tires are really jumping then you should get the control arm set. Mine really made a difference for the hard starts. I think I will stay with the 4.10s and see how it does when I get my s/c. If not then Ill just switch to 3.73s to see. I know I will jump later on since I am gonna run at 12-14 boost until I get internals and then go 18psi. The best upgrade for traction are the lower control arms.

12-14 psi is going to be tough with street gas and stock internals. I have a real sensitivity to bad gas at 9psi and am considering using water/meth injection. You will probably need new internals sooner rather than later.

People talk about traction issues in 1st gear with 4.10's NA. How are you not going to have super traction issues with another 150-200 horsepower.

on a modular motor, there is no reason to have any less the a 4.10 ratio

It's not that there aren't any, you just aren't aware of them. Not everyone is drag racing. Some may want to be more comfortable at higher speeds and just not run at higher rpm all the time. When boosted, steep gears don't always even bring the best times.

so what if no one is drag racing, 3.73s are a waste of money NA or with a centrifical, especially on a 5 speed
