I gained .10 and 1.5MPH in the 1/4 with 4.10 gear swap (3.73 stock). My 60' stayed the same.

.3 to go from a 3.73 --> 4.10s?
I read on this not too long ago. Seemed .1-.2 was fairly common when goin to 4.10s from 3.73, while .2-.3 was doable when upgrading from 3.42s.

dlt, I'm still considering 4.10s, even w/. huffer. I wanna go to track tomorrow to test out my new setup, but just like almost every WED., it looks like rain.

On a bigger tire, the RPM difference when goin to 4.10s isn't as pronounced as it is on say a 26" tall tire. On tires where I'm at (30.5" or 30.1"), it only amounts to say, 400 RPM's at most. I have the figures, since i jusrt recently checked on this & the formula on how to figure it out too.

3.42 to 4.10= .4 tenths. Street tires and 20's. So far the biggest gain for the Money.

Think it matters if 4.8 or 5.3 or 6L? I mean w/o gettin into physics, of linear & exponential gains in relation to motor. Just a kinda simple answer would suffice.

No 20's here, just 16's.
Stop tellin me this. You guys are gonna cost me $. More $.
