Gear choice for TSP T3 Cam?
Gear choice for TSP T3 Cam? Hey guys....(was gonna put this in the gear section, but thought I'd get better responses in here)
I just purchased the TSP torquer V.3 (231/234 .643/.598 at 111 LSA) with the valvetrain upgrade kit, LS2 timing chain, LS6 intake, and a set of gears for my 98 M6 LS1
Here is my question...Being the car is a 6 speed, I bought a set of Motive 4.10 gears too....WAS THIS THE RIGHT CHOICE for the cam set-up? Should I have gone 3.73 or even left the stock ratio?
The car also has Full exhaust, Kooks longtubes, Y, and SLP catback to help it breath better.
I am hoping for 400 to the wheels after the tune...Can't wait
Opinions please

4.10's are very nice, but not for the 7.5" 10 bolt.
The 4.10 gear is cut thinner than the 2.73-3.73 gears, which means it is easier to break than the alrealy easy to break stock gears.
As long as your not lauching at 5k rpm with sticky tires you should be fine.

I'm running that cam with 3.73s and it feels great, I wanted 3.90s but they were on back order. Plus I was worried about breaking them if I went any shorter. I think the 4.10will feel awesome but you might break them if you run sticky tires. Good luck, I'm loving the cam.

Hopefully I'll be OK....I don't plan on launching the car........to hard
90% driven on the street....I'll prob have to bring it to the track though to see what she can do
