does it really matter in a 1/4 if you have 373's or 410's? i mean how much of a time difference are we talking about?? if its a big difference ill go 410 but for only a tenth ill just get 373's and some better hwy mpg.

I'm in cheyenne. I go down to fo co, denver a lot though.
I love my 3.90's, I honestly wouldn't bother switching from 3.42 to 3.73. You could probably be faster putting the money else where.
3.90 is worth making the switch for though.
My car has broken 3 sets of 4.10 and these 3.90's are holding way more power than they ever did. They'll probably break someday too though unless I get the 8.8 done soon.

Trent at Colorado Performance Unlimited got me a crazy good deal on mine through Motive.
A buddy of mine might have a set for sale with full install kit, new bearings, etc. He bought 3.90's like me but then he decided to go to an 8.8 without installing them.
PM z28camaro30ann on here and ask him.

I really don't think 4:10's effect highway mpg much at all. At 70 mph w/3:42's it was at 1500 rpm in 6th, with 4:10s it's at 2000rpm. I honestly never paid a lot of attention to my mpg when it was my dd but I can't imagine there is a huge difference between the 2 ratios when in 6th. 4:10's made a HUGE difference in how hard it pulls of the line, no other mod Ive done had a bigger sotp difference than 4:10's did. 4:10's make 6th more usefull on the hwy IMO, the motor won't bog at times like it would with 3:42's.

Is there any cruising that happens on 287/College Ave. anymore? I used go there most every weekend a hundred years ago when I lived in Loveland as a teenager and park in the middle stalls and watch people act a fool with their pants on the ground...

When that gets old we usually park somewhere and try to get some people to go out of town and race..
Cops have gotten really bad about busting everyone and running people off who set in parking lots in big groups.

Depending on the cam / head specs, yes 4.10's and lower is what the car wants.
A bolt on car simply doesn't need it and a cam with lots of tq in the low rpms just makes first gear useless on the street with 4.10's.

Both of you have quite radically different setups than a bolt on car.
Depending on the cam / head specs, yes 4.10's and lower is what the car wants.

I was running my 4.10's on bolt on only settup.
If first is too short for the street, then start in second.
