Now with that bullshit out of the way, if you want to go faster at the track and on the steet put 4.10s in it. Dont even bother with 3.73 or 3.90. If the blower was not ported i would be even going up to a 4.30 gear, i dont believe in the whole twin screws dont need such a steep gear becuz they already have so much low end torque.2nd thing, never kill the gear becuz you have no traction, look into the tire and suspension always. To many times i hear this and see this rookie mistake. I recommend even 4.10 with a whipple 2.3 up to about 580rwhp considering whipple cars will have a shift point of around 6700rpm minimum and i know what they trap. Go 4.10s hands down. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
