Gears?????
 
Ok my gears seem to be shi**ing on me. So i am decideding to go with a new set. What will be the the best gear for my car i already have 373's but i believe i want somthing steaper. So i am thinking of 4:10's. Do you think i should go with somthing steaper than that??? I just think my car could use a steaper gear


Thanks

Stick with 3.73s...especially if you are driving on the street any. Unless you have drag radials...it's almost impossible to hook up in 1st gear with 4.10s.

I have drag radials but they are not installed yet
i really wanna go with a steeper gear then just put in 373's again

4.30's were the best street gear I ever put in my car and I ran it with both the T5 and AOD with 'em. If you can't hook it with the 4.30's, then find some different tires!

430's hmm i was thinking about it what does the car top out at 88? I just bought some upper and lower control arms. So that should help me out a little.
nice if one more person says 4.30's i am going to order a set but i have no idea when i will install them(he he)

With 26" slicks I hit the rev limiter at 111 mph. If I shift 5th the front tires leave the pavment and it starts getting scary, yea right:D

On the street I use a 275-15-60. Perfect.

4.30:1 4.30:1 4.30:1 4.30:1 ................... Get the point! You can always start out in 2nd gear on the street! For the max in the 1/4 mile ................. 4.30:1 4.30:1 4.30:1 .................................................. .................................................. ..............enough said!
