Ok ... OK
I'll add just a tad more info
Yes ... I gotta go with those who say to think long term
then again
I did reason out my reply ... with some amount of thought
He is a stick after all
and
Lets face it ... most don't even go full NA with aftermarket h/c/i
much less
Go with a blower or turbo
anyhoo
If I was gonna stay NA with basic bolt on stuff
or even
Some OEM stuff like intake and heads
Well ... none of the above is gonna extend the powerband all that much
therefore
I'd stay with 373's which I believe is the best all around gear for a stick
Now if you went with aftermarket stuff which will move more air
and a cam with some overlap and a mid length runner upper
Well ... your powerband would be extended AND shifted up
therefore
Yes ... 410's would be more suited
AND
They are not gonna act as radical as if you had a mild combo with
it's more narrow powerband :Word:
If we are talking about a dd and a lot of highway driving
Well
70 mph & short tires with 410's will produce more rpm than 373's
As always ... It is ALL ABOUT application
Never the Less
NO MOD ... Will yield more Smiles per Miles as a steep gear set
