No open, I've got the stock T-Lok in the rear. 315's can fit in there without rubbing or anything?i am assuming you currently have 3.08s with an open diff.
so if you go to 4.10s with a posi setup. you will increase tire spin by 33% but you are putting that to two tires now. so i think its a wash???
If you need more traction you can fit a 315 tire in the back.
i have a 3.08s with some simple bolt on and i can spin both tires all day long.
That's what I've been hearing, for sure. I really just want the biggest bang for the buck for a first mod, and 4.10's seems to be it.I would do it. You'll be running low 14's if you are good. Its what you need to be halfway decent quick with no mods.
Anytime you go to a steeper gear ........
you'll be able to spin the tires with less effort :Word:
Now ... What a lot of peeps don't consider is this
You can gain MORE control of the wheel spin with the steeper gearset
Think of it like this
Ever noticed how hard it is to make the wheels stop spinning in like
2nd or 3rd gear on a wet street
BUT
When in 1st gear ... all you gotta do is back off the skinny pedal a bit
to gain control
Same kinda principle

it will give you 33% more torque going with the 4.10 over the 3.08.
this torque increase will give better acceleration as well.
this more torque will be noticable and will hurt your highway cruising RPMs.
And for the wheel spin in higher gears, it could be that the wheels are spinning way faster in second/third gear then they are in firstTakes a bit for them to slow back down to where the tire can actually get grip again.
Fellow GTS owner.Incase you believed the 33% more torque... not true.. You just rev up faster due to the turning ratio of the gears. it in no way adds power. just puts you up in your power band faster. This will be one of the best bang for the buck mods you can do this early on and for 200 on the install, do it! Thats a great deal.I went with 3.73's and love them.
I did all of "bolt ons" without taking stuff out of the car, removing anything like sway bar and i got my car down to 13.55. Seeing you also have a GTS its possible! I am also running 315's. Each car is different and its hard to tell. some say they fit fine and dont rub, but from my experiance they did rub! had to beat the inner fender well a little bit so it didnt eat my tires up lol.. some 275 Drag radials would be more then enough but for looks, 315's! ;p

Understood. The reason I'm doing it is just for the SOTP feeling, not so much torque/horsepower. I'm not planning on bringing the car to the strip that often, and it's my daily driver, so the SOTP is really what makes the car a blast to drive for me.Hello Nate & Jeff
Yes .. I totally agree
If in 2nd or 3rd ... the wheels will be spinning faster
but
Still ... Same principle applies
With 273's and the tires break loose
The wheels will be spinning faster than if you had 373 and it breaks loose
Another thing ... Steeper ratios will put more torque to the ground
Thats why you do it in the first place
But Yes ... A set of gears won't add more horsepower like a combo part
Grady
so the SOTP is really what makes the car a blast to drive for me.
