Some opinions needed guys, for a good 1320 n/a possibly some spray down the road, 28" tall radials, auto with a j-mod, 4.10 or 3.73.. Will be driven often, but I want to try to turn some descent N/A numbers from this bucket.. What's your thoughts guys?Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnyxCobra Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 28" tires and an auto, i think you gotta go 4.10s with that combo. and that's coming from someone that likes conservative gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 That's what I was thinking.. F8l you think a 4.30 won't be too big?, now I plan on either some spray or a blower on it later down the road, 4.30's still be a good match?Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I would stick with 4.10s then. I will actually be swapping my 4.10s for 4.33s next winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Ok sweet, now I'm going to look for a set of 4.10's.. Maybe some hardened 28's or you think ill be ok off the footbrake?..May just go ahead and get the 31 spline carrier from an explorer, and some axles..But then again it's just going to be a toy car..

F8L GT Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 with a bias ply you will be fine on the stock axles specially running an auto without a trans brake. The tires wont hit hard enough to break the axles. But there are some that do break eventually but most are on sticks that do a 6k rpm launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

330CubeGt Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I have always said 3.73 s for a stick and 4.10s for a auto for ease of explination since so many people ask the question. But I ran 4.10s with a 28" tire with a five speed and wish I had a shorter tire. Now with 4.10s 28" tire through the auto I love the tires and the car feels right.(You seen the vid on fB right?)

Forcefedhatch Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Oh man.. Lol.. Well I did the calculator btw guys, with the 4.10's on the 275/60/15's ill be about 500 below redline at the 1/4 on the aode's gear ratio..So pretty much a sweet spot.. At what i plan to actually trap/run with a mildly driven gt40 setup on the steeda cam.. If I do go with a power adder depending on it( supercharger will be a 3.55-3.73 and turbo is 3.27's (which I already have Installed)Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 so of those two gears my suggestion wasn't too bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 For my actual combo no.. Of course I didn't give alot of info either like previously posted (elsewhere).. But to keep myself in a neutral position everything between the gear selections I threw out there with minimal info led to the 4.10's.. So thank you very much for your/everyone's input and advice.. It was very helpful!Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculators help but you won't ever really know till you make some real life passes.Atleast thats how I have learned. After running 3.27s 3.55s 3.73s and 4.10s in my own cars. There is a lot of trial and error even after you pick the perfect gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Very true, I actually did the calculator this morning lol.. But I can honestly say, after the purchase of the 4.10's ill literally have everything from a 3.27 to a 4.10 lol.. And a spare rear end.. So I have a few friends who wanna learn to install gears, so if I do fall short or too tall on rpms, ill have another setup on the bench lol..Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

330CubeGt Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Im mid way through 4th with 4.10s 5 spd and 28" tires and it sucks. Last time out I left soft and took it to the limmiter in 3rd and gained Mph but ran the same time. Shifting rightat the 1000 ft mark makes me angry...

Duff Daddy Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 dont forget, if you have gears ( had used 373) you can set them up and they can be done quiet if done correctly, but if you change pinion angle with lca's then that will throw it all off.....
