what will a gear swap

what will a gear swap get me 4.30s
i cant seem to get my 60fts down the best i have had are on the 17in et DRs 1.699
i have 3.89s now and im thinkin that even though they might not work for the 200 shot as i would run out of gear. for all motor runs 4.30s would be enough to get me in the 10s. all i want is a 10.99. at a 11.309 now. i might not even spray this motor, and just keep it my DD. so my thoughts are building up a old third member with some 4.30s just to try and if they work ill either swap them or get some for my ALUM third in the car now.
i am on a huge budget now since i got married and had a kid in the last 7 mo money is scarce for the car anymore.
then i can try to get the "drag car" my old high school 94 v6 camaro...
a faster timeslip.
so in conclusion will a swap from 3.89s to 4.30s get me from a 11.309 to a 10.999 thanks

I doubt you will see a 3 tenth gain from just the gears. I swapped out 3.42s for 3.73s and I only saw 1 tenth. If I were you, I would do the gear swap, take some more weight out of the car, and race in better DA and you should be there. 3860lbs is fuggin heavy!!!

i took some weight out got it down to 3598 with me (250) in it. i got some 275 50 15 on some prostars, they were used and traction was so-so and all it would muster was a 1.73 60ft. i was hopin a full slick and 4.30 would get me in the 1.5 range i also added adj QA1s all around. so im hopin SLICKS+4.30S+QA1s= 10.999s. im also gonna "build/adj-my spohn TQ arm to make it adj and lower the go front point and change my instant center.

i think he is m6. camarokid i think me and you think alot alike. very similar setups and are both wanting a 10 sec n/a pass. since you lightened it up alittle that will help out but the big difference will be with a stickier tire. with a 60' around 1.56-1.58 that should get you there. i have a set of 27-10.5-16 et streets but i only managed a 1.63 but i'm sure there was alittle more with tweaking.that was the only launch i got halfway right and i left around 5 k or so. oh yeah, only suspension mods is removed front sway bay,qa1s on front (had them set i think on 3) and the only thing done in the rear is sportline lowering springs.
good luck buddy

Hahahahahhahahahhahaa Slow Trap
i think we are in the same boat more than you know. i went the fastest on the 17s and i tried the same 27 10.5 16 et streets. they didnt do any better. and the fastest i went was also before the weight reduction i did gain 2mph after the weight drop. but no ET gain.
i dont understand how all there guys on here are runnin 1.5s and 1.4s with half the power we have ya know
