before and after gears

[gergwheel]

hey this might already be posted somewhere but i couldnt find it. i was just curious to hear some 1/4 mile times before and after gear upgrade. also to you guys think that 4:10's is too steep for a 3.4 v6? i have 3:23 right now and i can get a 3:42 plus lsd rear axle for 250 and install it myself. however the 4:10's are only 300 and i was thinking that would be alot quicker off the line but i think it might kill my top end.

yea 4:10s would be way to steep and to much for your 3.4, 3:42s are nice all around, good acceleration, and you still have good top end with them as well.

i have a buddy with a 160 hp tbird that has 3.73, and it's just too much gear for him. I think I'm gonna wind up with 3.42 because that's what i can get cheap, and i think it'll make a huge difference with the lsd and all. Just go with the 3.42, and enjoy!

thanks for the advice guys, i am gonna have to look into doing a complete rearend swap, because that is how it comes, should be easy except for the new disc brakes, i asked a friend and he said all i would need is a proportioning valve.

What about 3.73s?
I have 3.73s in my car and they are not too much gear at all [img]smile.gif[/img]
My top end was not hurt either... car pulls harder in every gear like it should. Only thing limiting my top end is horsepower LOL

hey 95batmobile what kind of times do you run in the 1/4 mile?

Every time I try to get together with friends at the track they all cancel :(
