The gears are all in taste I don't think having the 4.10's in would be bad I just like a taller gear. I'm am also in the military, so take care of yourself over there and get back to your ride in one piece. Going on a deployment is how I saved the money to even get this car.

Yeah I know what you mean.. Deployments suck but while you're here you gotta reward yourself a little. 1st 6mths I added the bumper, hood, raptor shift light.. Last six months its the Vortech.. As far as the gears I'm going to see how I like them before i change or keep them. Like you said it's all in a persons taste..

I have the ten version of that blower on my car and love it. I have the 3.73 gears from the factory and they are great with the blower. I plan on adding e cai to the blower once the warranty expires. That voides warranty on the drivetrain on the ten. I would have thought it would on the 09 down too.
Hey man what numbers are you putting down? As far as the gears I think I might be ok.. The Vortech is a centrifigual S/C, so it want make instant boost. I was thinking about doing a couple car shows maybe go to the track every blue moon, we'll see. BTW I love the car bro..

Thanks. A few of your threads were starting to scare the hell out of me but I'm glad I did it. I had a different vision of what it would feel like to drive a boosted car, I had no idea that it won't do it unless you want it to. You got yours slapped back on yet?

I had the blower on for a week.. just got back from the track a few hours ago actually.. ran a handful of high 12s with no traction launches.. best of 12.7@107mph
