Default ?'s about 4:10 gears

Ok I'm thinking about gettin the 10-bolt gear kit from TSP. It comes with everything you would need including fluids. I am leaning toward 4:10 gears but keep seeing people talkin about not using them if they are gonna spray. I do plan on sprayin soon but only a 100 shot at most. I am also a 6-speed so I was wondering how much faster the RPM's will raise on 4:10's w/sauce.

Will I not get to use all my power/torque due to having to shift too much?? I want it to be faster but at the same time don't want gears I run through in a block distance. If not 4:10's what should I go with??

IMO I would go with the 4.10s. A 100 shot is not that big, and it doesn't sound like you will be using it all the time. The shifts will come a lot quicker going down the track, but you'll get used to it.

Its not like you think man. The gears won't run out ridiculously fast. Trust me, if you love fast, hard acceleration, you'll love 4.10's.

I just installed 4.10s last fri and I LOVE them. With that said I cross the traps in 4th with the shift lite on and it's SO close that I let it hit the limiter before I let out Trapping 113 and top speed in 4th w/4.10s is 115@6200.

I am going to spray the car for the first time since installing the 4.10s and I WILL be shiftn to 5th no ands, ifs, or buts about it. If I wasn't getting a cam in the near future where I can bump the limiter up to 6800 I would be very limited with the 4.10s. But damn for a bolt-on car they're freckn badass
