Gear question

Maybe someone already answered this, I looked quick but didn't find an answer...
What exactly is the difference in 1/4 times for the relative gear sizes ... I mean on average can a set of gears shave a tenth or more, what gears shave what times etc thanks for any input

I don't think gears will really shave your quarter mile times... it's more of a feel thing.... better gears will make better use of your power.

they will def make your times go down. 4.10s over stock can take over .4 secs off your time

yeah you might be right......

the same goes with performance intakes, headers, exhaust, and maybe even supercharges or turbo's?

So hearing .4+ for 4.10s what about 373s?? And I am speaking with reguard to n/a with the usual bolt ons like did people pick up a certain amount of tenths after they installed gears etc, just curious

bro it all depends on what your purpose for the vehicle is going to be. If you are going to do highway driving with your car i would go with 373's if you aren't going to do highway driving go with 4.10's if you want a little more umph, but personally I would stick with the 3.73's, you just can't go wrong!

I have 3.55's in mine and I don't like them all that much, but they will be a nice commodity once I build my blown stroker

Alright thanks for the info/opinions, trying to see how close I can get my GT to 12s n/a before I start saving up for a blower or turbo while still driving it about 10-15k a year

what year is your GT?

don't just mod you engine, make sure you have a good suspension set up as well as good tires

02 GT I was going to sell it a while back and get a lightning but I decided to keep it and see what I can do with it, I have a 1.7 inch drop for it I have to put in and I was looking into upper and lower control arms for it, its sort of my 2nd priority as I am still getting the cobra show ready.. I would like to get more 1st place then 2nd or 3rd place trophies this year as apposed to last
