No he just needs that thing tuned .. with the built bottom end and forged internals .. he can get that thing riding nice .. the centri set up is good with 4.10's .. and once you learn the car on the interstate .. you can know how to get it into boost faster and have some fun with it .. my buddy has a built 00 gt with a s trim pushing just over 500 to the wheels and he loves the 4.10s ... now my buddy with the 03 whipple cobra loves his 3.55 with the tremec cause he can snatch 3rd and put a hurting on people if he wants .. but with the centri I'd def. stick with the 4.10

Yea but for a higher Top End, he's gonna benefit more from the 3.73's. And I believe it's more top end that he's looking for.

more top end what ?! power ? he's got a centri blower .. they are make their power in the upper rpms .. i don't get what you're saying ..

A higher top speed!!! Because he said his gears didn't allow him to go any faster.

[MeZ]

where does he need to go over 180 mph ?

[HMUSN]

salt flats


3/4 mile drag strip?

Well its not really the top end (which I wouldn't mind having more of).

Mostley how that 1-3 gears are pointless. I might as well drive on slicks or just start in 3rd.

The 4:10's with the blower just melt the tires. I will NOT drive around on D.R's as it is a 45 mile hike on the Interstate to get to work and on a rainy day even on street tires it feels like it want to come out from under me.

Also for the fact that I am on the Highway so much. 4:10's suck ass when cruising at 90-100 mph on the interstate.

My car is NOT a "race" car. It is a fun car that I take out once and then but is far from adn never will be a track or "race" car.

4:10's are not the gear for me with the set up and use of my car.

See If I cruised around in my car at 90-100 mph .. I'd have more tickets than money to pay em with .. so my bad on that .. DR's aren't bad you can actually get good mileage out of some of the newer ones like the BFGs .. I mean one pair a year isn't bad .. I don't drive my car enough miles to even do that .. its 4 years old now and only has 25K miles on it .. and you're right .. if you rip on it .. 1st and 2nd are probably really short .. but for normal driving .. you don't get in enough boost for that .. if its not a track car car then launches arent that big a deal anyway .. just drop 3rd gear on people .. I don't know maybe its just me .. I'm sure everyones driving skills and preferences are different .. I'm just saying that you already have the gear .. just do some supporting mods and have fun with it .. but if you want to drop .. I'd say drop down to a 3.55 if you really want to use 1st and 2nd .. and maybe even look at a t56 .. i know driving my boys cobra with the 3.55 its fun .. you can just ease into 3rd and feel the power kick in but still control the car ..

Mines an 02 GT and barely has over 25,000 miles on it.

My issue with the D.R's isnt the wear on them but driving on a slick highway as I do coming home from work with the 5pm showers here in Fl. The car gets slick on street tires when its raining so I feel some soft D.R's wont like it at all.

For now though the gear swap back is on the back burner. I have 28 spline axles back there now on a nice drive shaft so I know nothing should break. So the next big thing is a nice fuel system and a good tune, maybe more boost.

See what happens after that.

[MeZ]

Well the DRs in the rain aren't as bad as you thing .. driving my truck with 4.56 gears bald ass tires on the 22s and build 4l60 tranny with a trans go shift and tci tourqe converter eaton electronic locker in the rain .. that sucks haha ..

You should have upgraded injetors and some kind of aftermarket fuel pump with that built motor .... and 28 spline axles are stock .. but they should be good with DRs as long as you don't do constant 5 grand launches on them .. but def. a tune and upping the boost to at least 12-15 lbs .. I mean that NOVI around 18 lbs of boost will be straight on the built block ..

then drive it for a bit and i think you'll learn to like the gear more ..

Well I do have injectors 42# to be exact. The fuel pump is a factory one do to me being lazy. The one that came with the Novi kit went out and I needed a "quick" fix. I got a factory one for free and tossed it in. I never got around to putting in a high flow again yet do to other things with the car.

Also the 28 spline are not stock and are Auburns.

I had the whole rear end built at would be the "best" shop in town. I actually just got the car back from there as I was hearing a odd clicking noise and had them pull everything apart and inspect all the parts. All was ok and the issue was found and handled.

I am not 100% yet on uping the boost. I am going to tune it (after putting in a new fuel pump) and see what numbers I get and then go from there. I am at 436 rwhp right now.

So will see. I am hoping for close to 500 when I have a nice tune and proper fuel flow.

I didnt read everything ,but I saw the part asking why does anyone need to go 180mph regarding the 4.10s and s/c.

Its not a matter of necessity ,its a matter of doing it right/maximizing your mods. If your gonna build a set-up ,you want the right components so the car performs without a hitch.

4.10s dont allow the full potential of a blower to be realized .3.73 allow you to maximize that $4-6k investment you made in the power adder.

And I think thats what Nate want's.

+ 2

And yup, thats exactly what I am looking for.

[02StangGToWNEr]

And even though you may not drive around at 180mph, it's still cool to know that your car is capable of those numbers, if you have the right power numbers etc.... to back up it's claims.

ok then .. in that case .. run a 3.27 !!!!! :stupid
