I used 4.10s for 3 years and had fun with them but also had terrible luck with either bad installs or breaking teeth off of them. I went 3.73s to try and avoid that and so far so good. The acceleration is still great as well.

When I do my 12 bolt, I think I might change to 3.73's.

4.30s here, I'll have some impressions once I install my ds tomorrow. It seems as everyone that has them likes them.

I have 3:90's so I don't run out of gear in fourth. I plan on adding a 150-200hp shot in the future.

I want gears, but I don't want to run out and have to shift to 5th at the track when I spray on top of my planned heads/cam setup. So I guess I will run the 3.42s until I swap in a rear. Then I am thinking 3.90s??? Whatever will work well with 26" tires and not run out of gear in 4th. Time will tell.

on spray you want a taller tire becasue of the larger sidewall

so go with 4.10s and 28" tall tire

easier to launch on a 200 shot haha

That's exactly what I did.........

I got the rear end and gears on my car now. I just need to buy a nitrous system and get it hooked up now.

4.10 for now in the 10 bolt... going w/ a 4.30 most likely when i get the 9" on a 28" slick 4.56 if i find that for cheaper however. Otherwise, i should be good to go
