I don't know what the 4:10's will do for your ET, but I can guarntee it will cut your 60' down quite a bit. My gas mileage wasn't effected either.
how about when your going about 40-60 and you floor it, Do you get bad acceleration? Also im just curious what you run with your mods?
No, you don't get bad acceleration, that is the point of low gearing. 4:10's will make you launch great, plus at 40-60 if you stomp on the gas, you take off like a Moe Foe.
I've never ran my car on a drag stip.

Thanks for the help and answering my questions. Also would you recommend a torque converter? I'm asking you because i seen that you have one listed for your mods.

I agree, plus it's very satisfying to hear that chirp on the 1-2 shift when taking off from a dead stop.

The only reason I have a higher RPM T.C. is because I'm a freak about quick launching. I wanted to get as close as I could to a manual trans, but keep the benifits of my auto trans. Truth is, I wish I would have gone with a 3200 RPM TC.
