3.73's in, thank god!


i had a ring gear bolt come out the cover and trashed the rear end. i had 4.10's in it, those things were the worse things i could of ever done! the 3.73's feel a whole hell of a lot better! i went against my instinct and got talked into the 4.10's, i wont ever go against it again. the pinion gear was trashed unfortunatly, they were supposed to go into doc's mach. oh well, shit happens.

So for someone who is looking to buy gears tommorow, you would say go with the 3.73's?

I plan on full bolt-ons w/ cams. (VT stage II n/a) No FI. Should I go with 3.73's?

yes you'll be happy i promise. I have heard more people complain about 410's being too much than 373's not being enough.

congrats sweet2k

I would think you would be able to hook better with the 3.73's when spraying. Deffinitely let us know your times you run with them

will do along with pics and video. me and doc are going in the morning to swap out n2o tanks, and refill our bottles. if the weekend works out, me doc, workinprogress, mach boy, and a couple other friends will hit the track next saturday. i think a couple of us might go back on the 29th to let our girls race against each other. after that, off to the dyno, then tear down!

thats a personall opinion i think. l think they are a little more forgiving, but the 4.10's were a lot of fun. just running around, i think i will have to say 4.10's.

I've ran 11.55 @ 118 with my 4.10's on a 150 shot. Does anyone think I would actually run faster with 3.73's? A big part of why my car performs is the launch.....something I'd be giving up with the 3.73's. So I totally disagree on swapping the gears........please discuss
