anyone else?

Even with 4.10's you are only looking at a difference of 400 or so rpm's...You wouldn't notice it after a short while.

400 between 4.10 and 3.73, about 150 between 4.30 and 4.10 which 100 or so between 3.90 and 4.10, which is why i never recomend them

so if i plan to do a kenne bell in the future, i should stick with 3.73 or should i go up to 4.10's?

Lots of people with sc's run with 4.10's, you just need good tires!

Kenne Bell suggests 3.73s with their supercharger

I have heard that there is traction problems with superchargers with 4:10 gears.

4.30 5 speed, 4.10 auto, IMO,

if you go with a blower, i would suggest getting the blower first then decide on what gears you want

RE: 3.73 or 4.10 gears

My performance company that I do business with said don't even bother with 4:10 gears. Believe it or not. I was ready to do it and he said you will think you are getting there faster but there will be no difference. Anyone out there would like me to hear something different?[&:]

4.30s 5 speed
4.10s auto

unless you trap at over 115 mph then go with 3.73s

How much does it effect your top end. will your car just not pull anymore after 115-ish?

top end pulls harder, if you meant top speed, then it will be higher because it will make 5th gear less of a dog and allow you to pull through it

I see you recomending 4.30s all the time and I just gotta ask you have you even droven a 05+ gt with 4.10's in it? It goes completely dead at 115 mph since it goes into gay .72 5th. I dont think .20 will make that much of a difference since we are only talking .20 more, that wont be enough to over power that low gear ratio. Rule of thumb if someone is trapping 108 or around that with 3.55s dont go to 4.10's because you will prob have to switch to 5th gear b4 the end. So if you have 4.30s that would mean you would have to shift to 5th at around 105 or so? So that leaves you with a 1st gear at what? 20mph? 2nd 32? lol
