Yeah I'm sure on the RPM's with his 26 inch tires. The majority of people get 3:73's then wish they would have gotten 4:10's. It is all personal preference, but the 4:10's will make you faster on the street but like I said before you will have to shift right before the trap with the 4:10's.

ya i was leaning towards the 4:10's the only thing is i allready have 3:73's do you think performance wise there will be that much of a difference? enough that its worth switching the gears?
you will see a diff in tire spin only i had 4.10s and took them out after 800 miles,,got 3.73s now that in my 99 cobra..got pro charger 3.73s are a must..4.10s just blew tires off...had to shift out of second before a took a corner,,,just sucked hope that answered your question..

3,179 RPM's at 60 MPH with 4:10's to be exact.
are you sure its that high?
4.10s @ 80 mph is 3000 rpms..3.73s @92mph is 3000rpms..that with 275/35/18s

He has 295/35/18s not 275/35/18's I put it in the gear ratio/tire size rpm calculator, pretty sure it is right.
