Default Any videos comparing 4.10 gears?

So now im thinking of going to 4.10s, does anyone have any before and after vids or speedo runs of your old gears (maybe 3.42s) compared to your 4.10s. Also what did you pickup in the quarter mile from it. Thanks

I don't have any vids but I have a few timeslips. My car M6 02 SS with mods in sig car on street tires and stock gears ran a 8.77 at 84.48mph w/ a 2.14 60'
That is best of three runs. My car with same mods and gears ran a 8.52 at 86.86mph w/ a 2.03 60' also best of three runs not exactly 4.10's but this should help you out a little

When you guys are saying like .5 .4 and all that, you actually mean like you went from 13.5 to 13.1? or 13.0 from just gears?? That's pretty impressive if 4.10s help that much!

Yea but a stall does much more for you guys. I had a freind of mine go 13.2 to 12.2 with only a 3600 SS yank and lid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Np7Y-Qrbk pretty good video of a Firehawk with 4.10s vs. a WS6 with stock gears. The video description says the WS6 makes 430rwhp and the Firehawk only makes 360

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEmwmkx5iR8 stock Firehawk with 4.30s

Saw that firehawk vs ws6 video before, I was curious if that was real or not.. because if a car with 360rwhp and gears is the same as a 430rwhp transam.. thats very impressive

Just go to 4.10's like I did. It's horrible for the road, but great at the track as long as you've got tall tires.

Yeah, I went from 13.42 to 13.00 JUST by changing gears. It's a worthwhile mod.

Did you just get the gears and rebuild kit from ws6 store? I'm curious to weather people are building up or getting entire new rears, I plan to just throw them in the 10bolt for now and take it easy lol
