I went from 7.5 to 7.2 from a gear swap.

RPM 5 cam, PT4000 and supporting mods. completely stock suspension.

I have a set of used 4.10's for a 4channel 12 bolt for sale. $75

I don't really think that's relevant.

And besides. I'm sure it's on a tire since it's (by his post) cam only.

For his car I don't think it's a neccessity at this point. Will he benefit? Sure.

I went 6.6 with completely stock suspension/shocks on the bottle in my 60E.

Your right but ive met ppl who have were using 4.10s with street tires and couldnt hook up worth **** so I thought it was pointless for them to gear it until they got better tires

if so with 4.10's you will be at 4,000rpm at 70mph on the freeway..... that sucks, the most i would go is 3.73's


and have jason at tdp do it

Are you serious?

With a 4l60e, lock-up converter, 25.66 dia. tire, and 4.10 gear he will be turning about 2650 rpm at 70 mph on the hwy.
