difference in gears
difference in gears how much of a difference would i get from changing my 2:41 rearend up to a 4:11 or alike gear, its an 8.5 10 bolt posi with a 4 speed close ratio in an 81 camaro. the trans gearings are 1-2-3- then a final drive of 1:1 like a 700r4. how much mph will this cut off in 4th gear, i just dont want to be stuck topping out at like 80 mph.
going from a 2.41 to 4.11 is a BIG jump...... in 4th gear what are your RPM's like at diff't speeds...... since its only a 4 speed, what do you top out now..... i'm thinkins that 4.11 may be too big of a jump, unless it's not your daily driver and dont mind cruising slow on the highway

i dont think you would realistically gain any horsepower,but it may FEEL that you gained some.... if its not gonna be seeing any highways, then slap some 4.11's and have some fun,; but no matter what, you better have some tires to get any type of traction...
