4:10's vs LS1

Hey CodyGT waht do you run at the track, cause honestly if its possible to keep my 3:27's I would cause since I have an auto it'll cost me like $800 to complete the gear swap.

Well I guess I am so " biased " right? I own a LS1 and a GT like I care.

People who run 4.10 gears on a near stock car are wasting there money. I have yet to lose to a near stock geared up car in my GT w/3.27

4.10 really aren't the cure all, not to mention most cars that benifit from them have thrown all of there low end torque out the window with other mods.

One of my buddies has 4.10 and the other has 3.73. The 3.73 car feels ok but I wouldn't drive the 4.10 car if you paid me.

Well I guess everyone is entitled to there opinion. I kill cars with 4.10's so I am not stating opinion.

I run 13.6 @ 102mph with a stock H-pipe and 3.27's.

Doing mods and gaining hp in the higher rpm range will benefit more with 4.10's or 4.30's. Cars with alot of low end torque dont need gears as much.
What your saying is ass backwards.

To counter that, ive killed cars with 3.27's. There are cars with 3.27's that will beat cars with 4.10's. and there are cars with 4.10's that will embarass 3.27's. Gears are a key factor, but so are driver, hp, trq, weight, ect. 4.10's multiply trq much better then 3.27's. So off the line, a 4.10 car will get the jump and get the lead assuming both cars are equal hp wise and traction wise. So then the 3.27 car is playing catch up. In stop light duels, id rather have 4.10's anyday. Up top, i dont know yet. i havent raced from a 60 roll with my 4.10s. From driving around though, the car pulls harder in every gear.

I dont know anout the rest of you, but if I want to be able to beat an LS1, I want to truly beat it. Launching at 4K with drs and suspensions mods and running to 50 MPH before he has a chance of catching up is not beating it IMO.Sure you beat him to 50 or whatever and maybe through the 1/4 but his car still traps better and WILL catch you if you keep on it.Like the mach vs the gt...stock vs stock the gt will NEVER run down the mach, same with the camaro vs the vette, the camaro will never run it down.Thats my idea of beating a car.Not cheating with DRs and high rpm launching.Not every race is from a dead stop, if from a rolling 60MPH, those DRs and suspension mods are not going to do jack and you WILL get murdered.Go for the HP mods, like a s/c or new heads, intake, cams,LTs,o/r x,catback,and even a CAI if you want.(wont do much but every bit helps) with that setup, COMBINED with DRs and suspension mods you will MURDER them off the line, and be able to hold the off in the 60MPH races....that my friend is truly beating an LS1. BTW hope money is no object, because otherwise you bought the wrong car to try to waste LS1s with.
