Guys with 3.73's and 4.10's come on in

[JuicedV6]

How much did going to 3.73's or 4.10's effect your rev and top speed limiters?

Top end??? I remember having a top end....Now it's missing. I can stil cruise at 80 with no problem.

maybe you should have gotten 3.42s? I have the best of both worlds. Then again don't trust me, I have the dreaded Flo-bast*rd muffler. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

3.73 killed top end but can still beary the needel ;)

Acceleration is improved in every gear (you just shift sooner). I never ran mine top speed since the gears but I know that 110 mph is real easy and I personally don't feel comfy going much faster than that!

i have no idea why you guys are crying about top end, i FLY up to 120. and yes i have my speedo recalibrated. Ive burried the needle into the voltage gauge, so i dont see how your 3.73's suck. im not calling these gears a street gear, cause expect to get **** mileage and cruise at high revs, but i LOVE my 4.10's i wouldnt go down at all.

i have 3.73's and i have a lot of top end. in fact, i still feel like my bottom end is lagging a bit. my speed limiter kicks in at about 85mph since i don't have my speedo recalibrated. zach, did you get an scu2000 or get it done at a shop?

I had 4 10's and I hated them but I do a lot of highway driving
Noooo top end in my opinion
323's here and 30+ mpg [img]smile.gif[/img]

Was your pcm programmed for the 4.10 james? If it wasnt thats why you hated them, i imagine with the correct shift points and no governer 4.10 would freakin rip :D

I notice a loss in top end with just 3:42's if your worried about it youll notice it. And guys that say they dont notice it are lying or paralyzed from the neck down. 100 + acceleration is not what it was.

I wouldn't agree that 3.42s kill my top end acceleration. It takes me 12sec to go from 100 to 118. Not too shabby for a V6...w/3.42s...that has minimal work. Oh and it took me 21sec to hit 100 from a standstill.

What im saying is its not bad, but you will notice a differance, and it is noticable. Its more like 70 + accleration and to me it does matter. The car used to just launch from 70 but now it just sort of takes off ;) the accleration is still there but its not the same and its not like it was and no one can say that their accleration iss exactly the same as it was. It just is a question of can you accpet the loss of a little top end for soem more low end power. And my answe is yes.

well, i'm neither a liar or paralyzed, and i haven't felt any loss in my top end going from 3.08's to 3.73's. that's not saying nobody will, that's just my car. like i said before, i still feel i'm lacking in the low end, but once i get rid of a couple air flow restrictions that should change.
