yes I am going forced induction, why 3.73's over 4.10's. What are the downsides of 4.10's that are magnified with a blower? my last car was a 5.0 that I pulled to 6K, blown, with 4.10's and an automatic with a loose converter. It seemed to pull through the traps nicely. Somebody told me that with 4.10's and a blower I would be able to pull respectivly on the highway without downshifting. Also, when I get the blower, I am going to save to get a new block (ticking timebomb with a blower) I am probably going to upgradeto a 4V motor (figure after you P&P 2v heads, and a built short block costs the same, I could have a built short block with untouched 4v heads, and pull to 7K on a blower) The blower is reality one day (not sure how far away) The 4v is a dream, maybe one day in a few years.
