4.10's or 4.30's
Like the title says, trying to decide the right gear for my car. Mods are in sig. I do not drive this car everyday the car is very seldom on the interstate. Just wondering at 60 or 65 how the car would drive with the 4.30's. And for people that have either gear are you happy or wish you would have went with something else. Mostly will be doing 1/8mi stuff so what do you guys think?

I had 4.10's and loved them. Going to step it up a notch to 4.30's and see how those feel.
I ran the calculations and the difference in terms of speed at lower rpms between the two was only 2-3mph. I do a lot of city driving and noticed an improvement in gas mileage with the 4.10's as well, not to mention the fun factor. I'm currently on 3.42's, broke the 4.10's, but can't wait for the 12 bolt to arrive with the 4.30's.
Do you plan to race the car often? Or just on occasion? If my car wasn't a DD I would have gone 4.56's, of course I run the car any chance I get.
