yes, 4.10's. 27 inch hoosier qtp tire, helps a little, but not much LOL.

It's actually not that bad, with a stock dia. tire at 65 it's at about 3600, so if you are around town, it's fine... on the highway, you just have to accept cruising at 55 unless you want to burn alot of gas and add a bunch of uneeded wear on the motor.

The world lived without overdrive for a long *** time, that's how I look at it.

4.10 works perfectly with a 4400 and a 26in tire
124MPH threw the traps at 6500

then a 5000 and a set of 27's should be good too, right about 6800. Perfect.

I was thinking of this thread today when I was driving Curtis's car.Had it in 3rd on the highway with the 3.73 gears.Said "**** that" and put it in OD. I'll stay A4 as long as possible with this car. 2 years on this tranny while making 10 second passes in a 3700lb/4000rpm stall car

well i test drove the car for about a mile or two....definately waaaaaay too loud taking off, the car revs between 3500-4000 taking off. i havent gotten on it too much but i can say that it lights the tires up from a stop alot quicker...all in all i think i like it.....ill post pics up of the cage when i figure out how to get them on the computer...

Wayne the cage looked great but was a pain in the *** to get in and out of especially the drivers side. I think that made my decision easy on getting swing out door bars.
