Old question....need fresh opinions. I currently run nitrous pretty much only at the track. I was going to wait till I had the extra funds for the Moser and go with 410's....but I need to get this car into the low 12's at least for now. So, I am going to do a gear swap anyway. My dilemma is 373' or 410's in the 10-bolt. I run DR's so I am not on ET's or slicks so I know the lower gears have a "better" chance, but am strongly leaning towards the 373 setup for more piece of mind and for better nitrous hooking. Will I see much difference w/ the 373's? Does anybody with nitrous arm it into 2nd gear?
TIA
TIA
Re: Old question....need fresh opinions. Nitrous makes its power so low in the rpm range, you'll probably go faster with less gear. 3.73s are stronger than 4.10s. If you still have 3.42s, you can probably spray in 1st gear once you hook up. Bog the motor, then spray. Works like a charm if you have a window switch (to keep the nitrous from coming on too low).
