Well the 4.11's dont necessarily have to go, but the only way I'd even remotely think about keeping them is if you're ONLY going to 1/8th mile this car. my .02

My other thought, is for the 1/8th I'd probably see ya have 373's over anything

1/4 is either 3.42 or 3.23 depending on what your MPH goals (or dd goals) are...

I personally have a 3.42 car and like them quite a lot. We'll see how they like me when they're puttin boosted ls1 *** down instead of natasp ls1 torque...

my .02

1/4mile and dd.. I think the 3.42s would be best. I want to go 9.99 or faster. She has gone 10.2 with crappy tires and a so so tune
