Honestly helty, if u r looking 4 every bit of performance for your car, get the 4:30's, but a switch from 4:10's may net u a .1 gain (1/4 mile) at best. Im not familiar with lockers so cant comment on them. I wish I had 4:30's and may switch to them in the near future. I know my next and final mods are heads/cams/headers/tune as I want to stay N/A.helty said:Thanks svt, I'll keep doing some searches and if need be, start a new thread strictly about differentials.
thats what Im after too, N/A performance. I honestly dont mind the daily driving inconvniences that come with more radical preformance mods, or I wouldnt be considering the Locker at all, let alone the 4.30s.big T said:Honestly helty, if u r looking 4 every bit of performance for your car, get the 4:30's, but a switch from 4:10's may net u a .1 gain (1/4 mile) at best.

Man, I know what you mean. With the gears it's either all or nothing. A couple of weeks ago, I was driving behind a slow moving car. I followed this guy for a couple of miles. I was going about 30mph in second gear(don't remember the rpm's) just about to shift into 3rd. I decided to pass this guy so I punched it while still in second gear. I broke the tires loose pretty damn easy. The car started to go sideways before the traction control caught up. My car wouldn't do that before I got the gears. I love these 3.73's. I did loose some gas milage. This is the perfect all around gear. Pearl02.hotmustang331 said:ahh, im not alone . I KNOW if I had an auto I could easily destroy traffic without anyone knowing I was trying.
But my problem is ONLY in 1st and a little in 2nd...once in 3rd I pull a few buss lengths on everyone with the same pressure applied to the pedal LOL.
I agree big time. I was initially going with the :30's, but thought i would be doing a KB upgrade so I went with the :10's. I use the car for police work and thought boost will kill my engine in a short time. I personally think that a 11 sec N/A car is the s--t!...Thats where I want to get to without boost.helty said:thats what Im after too, N/A performance.

But you make an excellent point, 4.30s wont be a huge difference for me. From the stock 3.27s to 4.10s I thought was a pretty moderate difference, but 4.10s to 4.30s, I dont think I'll notice much except on my time slips. Hey, even if it is only .1 off my ET, its still .1 off my ET
