does this sound good? (rearend)

[GinoGT]

why do i always agree with this guy

maybe i am stupid, but could anybody tell me the difference in gears? what is all the hub about anyway?

Get a bicycle and shift into a hard gear (big ring in the front, little cog in the rear) and try to accelerate. Then put it into an easy gear (little ring in front, big cog in rear) and do the same.

Now imagine that effect in your car.

so if my speedometer is reading 110 when i was clocked at 90, that means i am loaded with 3.73's right? what is better than that? 4.10's?

can't quiet understand what you're trying to say

 

[Jackie Chan]

i got 4.10s because my exhaust is louder that way

 

[Modular2v]

Well guys my car is my daily driver for atleast another year so do you still think 4.10s are a go? And i know what 4.10s feel like and 3.73s , my best friend put 4.10s in his 96 cobra and its insane but he tells me its not worth it at 2900rpms on the highway but then again he does nothing but highway driving where as i do pretty much nothin but city driving. AHHHH this sucks someone help me. Oh by the way i had a 98gt that i swapped 3.73s into and didnt notice to big of a difference but it thought that was due to the nast npi heads it had...would it have the same effect on a pI headed car?

 

[Jackie Chan]

i drive mostly city, but i would go 4.30s if i had the intention of running sticky tires or adding cams in the future

 

[Modular2v]

even if it was my daily driver?

 

[steven holt]

i drive highway all the time and my car drinks more gas than i do mountain dew. i am at like 4000 at around 95

 

[Oz. conv.stang]

What is your gas mileage like? I just bought 4:10's for my 02 rushstang

 

[steven holt]

i have 3.73's. if you want to save gas go with those, the higher you go the more gas you blow. but if your all about the times and have a lot of money go with the 4.30's

 

[steven holt]

i get around 10 miles to the gallon on the highway.

 

[Silvr04GT]

Don't forget, that it also depends on what your future plans are for the car! If you want to use any kind of boost (ie - supercharger) you should think about getting 3.73 cause 4.10 with boost might be a tad bit tough to hold down! At least that's what everyone around here says!

lol

john, what tires were you on and what rpms did you launch from at the track?

 

[GinoGT]

Gears and gas milage =

I get within .5 to 1 mpg with 4.10's as I did with 3.27's. And I like to get on it a LOT more with the 4.10's.

I always heard don't fear the gear but, it would harder to hook up off the line with 4:10. That would make you think its all in the launch; and mine needs help. A lot of threads that I read said to use 4:10's at a minimum.

 

[Jackie Chan]

yeah, all i can pull lately is 1.9s on street tires with 4.10s

i was pulling low 1.7s on et streets with 5k+ dumps

anything less than 4.10s is a waste of money

 

[Modular2v]

so i should go with 4.10s keep in mind my rear end will be built up strong

 

[Dark Knight GT]

Yes. If you're staying n/a, then go with 4.10's. The fastest n/a racers on this board and Modular Depot who have five speeds use 4.30 gears in the rear. If you want more opinions, shoot a pm to a couple of them. Automatic Weapon, Mustang92(Bill Putnam), Starkie, and KenB are a few you can talk to.
