Ok, I have just spent several hours searching this forum, google and whatever else I could find in order to make up my mind on 3.73 or 4.10 gears. This is what I have found out using the gear/rpm calculator at corralnet.
3.73 gears @ 70mph is about 2300rpms
4.10 gears @ 70mph is about 2500rpms
To me that is not alot of difference for 5th gear highway driving. What I have not been able to find is how much faster a car without adding anything other than 3.73 or 4.10 gears will be in the 1/4 mile. I am trying to fill in the following equation in theory of course for my car.
3.27 gears is about 14.0 ET
3.73 gears is about ??.? ET
4.10 gears is about ??.? ET
If I had an idea about how much faster I could go in the 1/4 mile then I could see how much it would be worth it to me to rev higher on the highway.
My other concern is that I am having trouble with wheel spin and 3.27 gears, how much of a problem am I going to have with 3.73 and 4.10. Heck, in reality, I could be slower in the 1/4 mile.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
