gear speed


So I know that 3.73 and 4.10 gears will make my car faster in the 1/4 mile but what will it do to my top speed? I Know it lowers it but by how much?

i have heard 2-3 MPG, not to bad at all and well worth it IMO. you shouldnt worry about top speed, you dont need to go over 100 anyway.plus by the time you actually got to 100+ whoever you were racing is already way to far ahead
