LT1 Trash

I recently purchased a set of motive 4.10's and was going to have them installed this weekend due to the fact i dont like the stock long gearing. My car currently only has a lid, but i will be ordering Lt's/true duals/ported tb this weekend.

Will i be roasting the tires in 1st if i run the 4.10's on street tires with just the bolt-ons?

And yes its a stock 10-bolt which is why i dont want to run radials.

you'll like them

Agreed, but you will have traction issues in first. and maybe in second. I think that you will be in the market for some radials before too long. the 10-bolt is gonna break when it breaks. I doubt that whether or not you are running radials on the street is going to matter too much. In otherwords, if it is gonna break it will do so on both radials and street tires.

yeah once you break and get a good set of dr's you'll like the acceleration

If the car spins in motion from a 1st gear roll thats not a big deal to me. i just dont want to be doing rolling burnouts with just bolt-ons. not worried about breaking the rear anytime soon on street tires. after feb ill be upgrading to a 9"

i still want to do digs/low rolls. is it possible to do so on street tires with the 4.10's or does everyone else just roast the tires?

300RWHP and 4.10's and street tires I was lighting them up.

My bolt on car would light 'em up when I punched it in 2nd on cool nights. My car's always been a little hairy though. Expect close to zero traction in first gear.

LT1 Trash

since you guys said you roasted them in 1st with just bolt-ons i think ill just wait to get a rear and some sticky tires to run a shorter gear.

You'd definately roast them off with street tires, bolt-ons, and 4.10's. With just 3.73's, shorties, cai, no cat, and a cutout, I'd roast them off through 2nd on street tires in my LT1. Even after I put some 275 street tires on, I had a lot of traction issues going from a 1st gear roll. The Nitto's hook hard though, even with the LT's and true duals.

i have a m6 with full bolt ons, ms3 cam and on 315 nittos traction can be a issue with the 410s but its still fun. just waiting for the day i hear the big boom from the rear though

No its the big bang theory, but in this case its not theory, its fact. Your **** will pop one day with 4.10's.

But they are fun to drive.

No kidding. My GTO blows the stocker '06 235s clean off with stock 3.46 gears from a roll, but sometimes that is fun in itself.
