how much hp does it feel like i have gained?

[Modular2v]

I know gears dont add hp but about how much hp is it supposed to feel like switching from 3.27s to 4.10s

 

[Cali03Boss]

maybe....40

 

[Green4.6GT]

yea id say around 40-45, its a huge diffrence.

I'd say they're good for about .3 in the 1/4... so if you can find a "hp number" for that..

 

[Modular2v]

yeah it feels insane

 

[twogts4us]

Like you lost about 800 lbs

 

[KISSEL]

It feels like you added 40 hp.

I must agree, I can light the tires at will and the car just pulls way better. Gotta change the rear tires to some better gripping ones too, to take advantage of the traction issue. Could have went 4:30's, but theres not much difference in the two.

how much diff would there be b/t the 4.10s and 3.73s as far as sotp feel?

 

[Go HoTO!]

I have always heard 40 hp too.

For me it doesnt feel like any HP. Im with the other guy that says it feels more like losing a lot of weight.

Me and my dad installed 3.73s in his 00V6 and it didn help performance very much but it does take off a heck of alot easier.I am going to skip 4.10s, and just slap in some 3.55s if I do anything, because I plan on slapping on a S/C after the warrenty goes out and I want plenty of top end so I can take a vette all the way up if I have too LOL and get some use out of those Z rated tires.

 

[Modular2v]

top end racing sucks!!! lol

 

[d98gt]

atleast go with 3.73s.... they really don't kill top end that much

My top end is unk, but I took it up to 135 at about 5900 rpms. Still had pedal left, but too chicken to max out. I kinda felt stupid, but I had to try it for my own just to see what it had. When I let off the gas the car felt like it was going in reverse.

i love top end racing. me and my buddy who has an LT1 raced home from the drag strip, we were both doing just shy of 150mph running dead even when another friend of mine in a mustang w/3.73 gears passed both of us. Trust me, they dont kill top end.
