Favorite rear gears for street launch
 

what are your guys favorite rear gears for a good street launch, while having a great 0-60?

Can't complain with my 3.73's. Then again, I'm not running mid 12's like you are either.

I like my 410s for my 60s but on the street they are a little much-always pulling second half way thru the intersection...but I love em

hey, are you running the 4.10's with the 5 speed? if so, what RPM are you running at 70 MPH

Yeah-
I took my car on the first WFC cruise to Bowling Green and was turning like in the neighborhood of 2700 and got 20mpg also

I seldom look at my tach vrs speed--just keep an eye on the little yellow shift light..LOL

I was going to change them out for 373s since I spray but I seldom spray on stoplight races-mostly for the track and at the local "on street" 1/4 mile mark offs....but thats when I have my slicks on which are 28s...

alot could change this year though as I have just a ton of new stuff-plus a c-4 is in the process of being built so I could very well step up to 4.30s...thats later this year towards fall though.

I think 410s work fine on the street-had em for almost 4 years now...just it takes you outa your torque band too early with DRs on(25.7 in in diameter) vrs the 28s of the slicks...also don't have to spray as much...saves on motor parts

i am still debating what gears to go with in my project. i am looking more for a street gear than a track gear. i want the good acceleration, but i also don't want to be turning 3000 rpm at 60 mph. know what i mean? you're driving on the highway and it feels like you need to shift at 60 MPH, but you're out of gears. i will probably stick with the 3.73's...

4.10's and a 28" tire for pushrod motors, 4.30's for the 32 valve cars.

weeeelll... I REALLY like the 4.86's in my 68 with the 4spd...:D

All I can compare is a 2.73 and a 3.73. And I LOVE the 3.73's when compared to the 2.73's :D
