Default 3:73 vs 4:10's

Ok Im seting up my car for dig races only, 1/8 mile, and getting down on the streets right now it has a F1 cam, full bolt on's, and a PT4400 stall. Which would be the best gears for my setup?

I'd go with the 3.73's with that stall, even for 1/8 mile digs.

Listening...

I would think the 4,10:1 due to the cam and stall. Sounds like you want more out of your car anyways. You did say racing only. Street sounds like no highway.

MattIROC might have a reason to go with 3,73:1. Traction and fuel milage issues. Might be too hard to launch a 4,10:1

I don't think you'll appreciate 4th ending so soon with the 4.10's... with the 3.73's, you got a little bit of room to spare.

I went from 119.75 mph traps to 121.18 by switching from 3.73s to 4.10s...Now crossing the traps at 6500, pulls like a freight train...
