70 mph roll?[&:] You have an American V8, go from a dig.

If you have a kb, go with some 3.73's and you will get him most likely. Plus you will still have some top end. My car pull very hard still between 100 and 120 with 3.73's

Well the 4:10s wouldnt help him on the top end thats for sure. They will actually prolly slow him down a bit. So if you would have gone from a 70 then I think you owuld have been even then you would have pulled. But I have a question WHY RACE FROM A ROLL YOU RICERS!!! haha But really come on go from a dig... then again he prolly would have smoked you from a dig since he has 4:10s and he had some more power at a lower speed than you. But I think you won because he kept going and you ended up in front.

Also is your car auto or manual and what was his?

BAd info there for sure. ANY gear will help from ANY speed. From stop to redline in 5th, the gears will help. Unless you are going to hit 165+ (which is RETARTED when racing door to door with someone.), 4.10's will help you. on the T5(it may differ a little) can hit 164 at 6k RPMS. with 4.10's. Thats plenty. Peolpe think that when you get 4.10's it just kills your top end. That couldnt be anymore wrong. It makes it better.

I usually go from a dig, which is more fun for me, and when I do I spin the hell out of them 1, 2, and part of 3, if I am not being a little conservative. I have lower CA's to help, but I need some DR's. If I had 4.10's it would probably feel like I was on ice, and I would def be left at the line. I feel the pull in all gears, but at a roll at about 45-50, I drop to 3 and floor it. Throws you back in the seat hard. My girlfriend loves it.
