Sound off! Twin Screw rides w/ 4.10 gears
How does the car handle with Twin Screw (Whipple, Saleen, KB, etc..) and 4.10 gears?
Streetable? Unstreetable?No traction and is dangerous?
Hooks up fine if you know how to start off half bore then get heavy with the pedal?
Do you want different gear ratio?
It works fine up top, but is hard on the car down low?
No problems whatsoever and am totally satisfied with 4.10s?

RE: Sound off! Twin Screw rides w/ 4.10 gears
in 1st and 2nd if i get on full throttle off the line it loses traction real easy, but if you give it less than full throttle and learn how to do it, it works just fine. my tires are not that great for traction either, and my suspension is stock so that adds to my traction troubles. but it is safe for the street, if you just dont floor it off the line. eventually i will get better rubber, and maybe some LCA's, and see how it is after that. but for now i like the 4.10's, from a roll they give great acceleration, and i dont do much track racing so it's fine for me. if i had to do it all over again i probly would have gotten 3.73 or stayed w/ the 3.55's, but its not too bad to make me want to change it right now.

My combo is very streetable and top end hasn't suffered much either. I went 130mph the other day and still had 1500 more rpm to go. So down low they are fun with the s/c and now 5th gear is fun to drive in also.

i know moosestang has the HO (i think?) whipple with 4.10's. i think he used to run M&H dr's until they made him hydroplane out of nowhere.
with a combo that violent, nothing but the most extreme street tires will hold up.

RE: Sound off! Twin Screw rides w/ 4.10 gears
Again I agree with you .....and now I am getting 4.10's esp after the ride I took in one the other day that had FI! I could tell the difference from my 3.55's

what kind of hp/tq numbers do you have at 8.5 psi and at 11 psi?
do you have any other mods to your engine? those are nice times btw.
