depends on whether or not you have traction w/ 4.30s.
you will want to upgrade axles and differential when switching teh gears...stock axles don't really hold up to well with sticky tires.
I'm running 4.30s w/ 31 spline moser axles and an eaton posi...you can run tires as sticky as you want...the stickier the better.
meaning...tires, LCAs, and uppers help a lot.
weld your torque boxes and get SFCs.
get fox 4 cylinder springs and v8 rears and some adjustable shocks/struts...
btw, you have an auto or stick?

5 speed? hardtop or convertable? do u have any other mods, and what kind of tires are u running, i suggest before u put 4.30's u should think about working on your launching, cause 4.30's is just going to make it worse if u dont know how to launch. For my example i have a 00 gt with minor bolt ons and 3.73's and so far my best 60's have been 1.9 and that was a 13.5 run at 100 mph, but my car is acting up cause i lost 3 mph on the 1/4.

Why pretent someone u are not, everyone else could see it.
