4:10 in the 1/4 mile If I install 4:10's in my car will I run out of gear before I get to the end of the 1/4 mile? Or does it still pull and have room for more speed when I pass through the finish line? I have 3:23's now and I am buying a stall converter that will be put in along with gears, would 3:73's be my best option or go with the 4:10's? Not worried about gas mileage, its a weekend toy, just want to make sure that I dont run out of gear before th 1/4 is up! Thanks

Check out our '95 Formula in the project car section of my website. 11.32 at 118 mph with an internally stock LT1, at 9 psi with an ATI ProCharger. We are using 4.30 gears in it, although we need to go back to 4.10's now. This is with 28" tall tires and a turbo 400. As was mentioned above, there are many factors involved. Bob
