I went from 7.5 to 7.2 from a gear swap.

RPM 5 cam, PT4000 and supporting mods. completely stock suspension.

I have a set of used 4.10's for a 4channel 12 bolt for sale. $75

I don't really think that's relevant.

And besides. I'm sure it's on a tire since it's (by his post) cam only.

For his car I don't think it's a neccessity at this point. Will he benefit? Sure.

I went 6.6 with completely stock suspension/shocks on the bottle in my 60E.

Your right but ive met ppl who have were using 4.10s with street tires and couldnt hook up worth **** so I thought it was pointless for them to gear it until they got better tires

Are you serious?

With a 4l60e, lock-up converter, 25.66 dia. tire, and 4.10 gear he will be turning about 2650 rpm at 70 mph on the hwy.
