Congrats on the gears.

I have some 4.10s sitting in a box on my floor, and Im just waiting till I have the cash/balls to get em in. I dont know really what Im waiting for, just that I know once theyre in, the car's gonna run like a raped ape, and at that point, Im afraid Im gonna beat on my new car too much. But I digress....

I remember back in the day when I got my 4.10s, they were considered "crazy". "Anything over a 3.73 wouldn't be streetable" they told me. Now 4.10s are "wussy" gears. Oh well. They will work well when the blower arrives!

I remember that as well, if you had 4.10's you were crazy or just didn't care. Now in a Cobra you better have at least 4.30's or 4.56's or your just wasting time. If I was staying NA I was going to go with 4.88's in my GT and a taller tire for better traction. But Turbo or Nitrous may be in my future so I'm going to hold off for now.

StoplightWarrior, I hear you about the abuse aspect of racing your car. If any car is a testament to what they can handle it's my car. 47K miles, 300+ passes (50+ on slicks), stock transmission, stock rear end, stock long block. I'm not easy on the car either 6K dumps on slicks but I do take care of it. Frequently changing out fuel filter, plugs, oil, clean filter, etc... Put the 4.10's in soon you won't regret it.

SMOKE, 1st is still very useable...up to about 32mph. Is that useable enough? Or I can easily start out in 2nd and run it up to 60mph or so.
