change from 3.73 to 4.30? Hey guys, I am debating on switching my 3.73's out for a set of 4.30's to help when I finally take my car to the track this year. My question is will I notice a big difference on and off of the track and is it worth running a 4.30 gear with my setup. Setup is in my sig.

As long as you don't mind spinning the **** out of the engine, go for it. You'll gain some time for sure with the 4.30's. You can run some 28" tall tires to take some gear away if you end up turning it too hard at the end. You may need that tall of a tire anyhow with the power you're making in order to hook.

I wouldn't unless your going to run a 28" slick or bigger. You will be running well out of gear at the end of the tack with 4.30s and 26" tires. If I were you I would keep the 373s and run a 27" MT or Hoosier you have the power.
