Gears----again

Bies08 · February 24th, 2007, 06:09 PM

i started thinking, i live 10 miles away from a town..15 from a town wiht fast food..and pry 25 or 30 from a major town. Therefore i drive alot of highway miles. Would 4.10's be bad for me. BTW my car is a manual. I started thinking if the engine was running at a higher rpm's for a logner amount of time(if i got 4.10's and i drove so many miles) woudlnt htat that decrease the lifespan of my engine?

GreenFaleen · February 24th, 2007, 06:13 PM

It would be minuscule. I mean 4.10s might be bad if your on the highway everyday for like an hour or so but like 15mins wouldn't be a big problem.

Bies08 · February 24th, 2007, 06:14 PM

the most i'd drive is 40 minutes..and that would only be once or twice a week....if even that...pry just on saturday nights?

Bies08 · February 24th, 2007, 06:15 PM

ooh and school is 20 minutes away..so if yo uput that together theres 40 minutes on the road in one day? would that be bad?

GreenFaleen · February 24th, 2007, 06:16 PM

nah I wouldn't worry about it. Get what you want or what you think will fit best 3.73 will be a good upgrade too.

Bies08 · February 24th, 2007, 06:17 PM

well i want to get off the line fast! so i think i will get the 4.10's then cuz they will accelerate faster tha nthe 3.73's right??

GreenFaleen · February 24th, 2007, 06:20 PM

yeah they are faster.

You would be fine with the 4.10s for what you have described. AtlanticBlue has 4.10s and drives 2hrs on the hwy everyday without issue.

itschristorres8 · February 25th, 2007, 02:01 AM

Im getting 3.73s
its not a big gas difference but idk with my plans i think it'll be fine
but i have a feeling i'll be swapping them for 4.10s

Be sure to check the "Gears and t-lok" thread in the CrazylegsRacing forum of the Drivetrain section to get in on the group purchase and save a few bucks.

itschristorres8 · February 25th, 2007, 03:01 PM

I dont have plans on t-lok and gears til i get my 8.8 rear end. and that wont be til may
plus it'd have to be 8.8 gears and a 31spline or 33spline tooth t-lok

DaemonJ · March 1st, 2007, 08:13 PM

I got my 4.10s installed and am running a solid 3K RPMs at 80mph.

I'm glad that I decided at the last minute to go with the 4.10s instead of the 3.73s.
