Posted by Don (Member # 938) on :
 
4.10s will run out at about 114mph. Keep that in mind. For na they work well for PA with stock Rev Limiter not so good.

this is true..

so youre sayin what? get 3.73s? i had 4.10s on my 97 and they have GREAT pull...and ppl say 373s arent a big differnce than stock.

i havent heard of ppl having 390s tho...

I love the 3.90's on my fox, but if I had a 99-up, I would get 4.10's without thinking about it

Go 4.10s if you are staying NA. That is what I have and love them.
 
Posted by Don (Member # 938) on :
 
Also 3.90s are an option, but I would go with the 4.10s and pay with tire sizes to get you to the 3.90 gear.

I used to have 430s on my 2001 gt,,It felt great but I went lower to 373s. You need to make sure what u have in mind for your car in the future,,because if u add nitrous or a SC then, maybe you shouldnt worry about having such step gears. [Wink]

[Roll Eyes] I have 3:73's in my 98 and have beaten talons/eclipse, evos, and modded wrx's yet to run into a STi on the highway...

Maybe if you had paid attention you would have (or have been smart enought) to notice Don was talking about quarter mile where you only used up to a 1:1 ratio that being 4th gear and the stock rev limiter being the restriction.

Still 114 is good enough for mid 12's if not a tad bit quicker.
 
Posted by Don (Member # 938) on :
 
Thanks Fostang. Sometimes people don't read the whole post. I know that I have done it. Yes 4.10s and 1.1 gear will get you mid 12s no problem.

Go to DynoQueenKiller.com and you will see this in action. [Wink]

Posted by Don (Member # 938) on :
 
I was talking about the gear in the tranny. 4th gear being a 1 to 1 gear.
