AZSN95SNAKE Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 4:10's FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 4V needs these gears. Crappy part is I can't get any traction in first nor second. I took my bullitts off that had 555R's and I miss them bc I always had traction with those. These Potenzas aren't helping out lol. Much much better in the rain though.

itsblown93 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Ill be adding a blower with my 4.10s hopefully soon. i just hope to get the gears in first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinschmidt1 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 3.27 aren't bad if you're set up for them. When I had my V6 I went from 3.73 back to the stock ratio 3.27 because I wanted 1st gear when I put the blower on. 3.73 was too steep. (And nobody made a 3.55 for the 7.5" rear.)yea, im turbo now + im looking to make 550-600 rwhp so 3.27s are the way to go if I want 1st/2nd gear to be usable and actually produce boost.

the.greg Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I was told my car has 3.73s, but either my speedo is off or its possible I have 4.1s. 4th gear tops out at about 110. I wish I had some 3.55s cuz traction is somewhat laughable on my lovely sumitomos. Its rather fun though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried I'll have to shift to 5th if I ever make it to the 1/4. People always say not to fear the gear, but it totally depends on what your build is. For a bolt on street car, sure go big, but other setups should have lower gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears are a torque multiplier, but that can hurt you when you start making enough power to have traction issues. And obviously turbos/twin screws/centris should all be setup to maximize their different powerbands/boost characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSN95SNAKE Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 ^^^ 3.27's to 3.55's is not worth the time nor money. You're not boosted are you? I can't recall if you have said you were. If so than okay, but if you're NA that would be a waste. 4.10's+ or nothing imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall if you have said you were. If so than okay, but if you're NA that would be a waste. 4.10's+ or nothing imoI was boosted and will be again. The 3.55's is just for cruising rpm. They will put me just above 2k at 75mph. Which is where the motor is happy. I'm not running a 4.6 anymore either. The 5.3 has some decent low end torque.It also helps when you can get the gears and labor for free.Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk Edited August 3, 2012 by 01yellercobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a hellavu build there. If you are going boosted again than by all means do the 3.55's. I am super jealous of your 75mph cruising speed RPM!
