I currenly have 3:73 gears in my 4R75W GT, would it be worth it to go 4:10's? Will I notice a big difference? Mods listed in sig
Not without tires. Currently, you are in the 2.0+ 60ft range. You need a stall and/or sticky tires.
You won't gain any real ET with 4.10's, especially at HMP with your setup until you get a tire. Maddox has had a hookup on the gears for a long time, but that stall and tire is your most important ET mod.
What RPM are you crossing the 1/8 traps in 3rd gear? What do you want the car to do, 1/8 or 1/4? That tune and your shift points is going to matter a lot on your ET's.
I know you are running on those street tires, 4.10's are just going to hurt your 60ft foot. They won't help it unless you have the tire.
I ran 8.82 with 30+hp less than you in my 5 speed with stock 2.73 gears, but the tires were the key. Tires are the most important thing at the track.
I know this all adds up moneywise Kyle, but I really do think you are being pointed in the right direction. You have seen how expensive it can get to just get a few horsepower here and there with exhaust and tb/plenum/intake mods. Those small mods add up in price quickly and really don't get you very far compared to the drivetrain work
those are on my list, lol
the reason I ask, is I can get the gears done for around 200-300 bucks, cause my buddy wants to buy my old ones, so he's paying for half the new ones, and Maddox has a hookup on the install
lol
With 4.10's and street tires (no traction), I was tapping out 3rd gear crossing the 1/8th.
I would go for it. Add a line lock and a decent DR. You'll be good to go.
i have 4.10's .. and i cant get them to stick.(on 1st, 2nd or 3rd if i gun it.
