I would assume yes, but roughly how much? 2mph?
Debating on either 3.90 or 4.10 and was wondering roughly how much ET/MPh it would give me.

when i was SI i didnt gain mph but dropped 2/10ths
since going to a bigger cam, fast 90/90 and going to a MN12 tranny i gained 5mph.
now when i roll race i start in 3rd and finish in 4th its perfect now.

The deeper the gears the less your top speed is going to be! But better the Acceleration! i run 4.88 in my truck because it is heavy and gets it moving, but i only use it for 1/4 mile so top speed doesnt really matter to me.you have a lighter car i would think i dont know how much they weigh.so i would say 3.90 would be a good all around gear.
