Default truetrac is gona get me in trouble..........

well i got the trutrace and 4.10's put in last monday and it had been raining alot around the house. im used to having an open differential, so the truetrac is a big jump. well of course im curious to see how easy it will get sideways. so im sittin at a redlight and the light turns green and i go take a turn and it slides a little bit then i see a dry spot up ahead so i stomp it and i guess i wasnt paying attention and when i get it straightened up i look behind me at the smoke and notice there was a cop i just passed (sideways) So of course he pulls me over and gives me the big lecture and lets me go. i guess he figured if i didnt know what i was doin i woulda hit his ***.

okay im alittle confussed now I thought 4.10 would spin less than say a 3.55 that's why the 4.10 makes you faster besause it gets you **** moving with out so much spin.

most of the time a lower gear will make you spin more. if you have traction though a lower gear will make you accelerate faster. it shouldnt change your speed much if any.
