i put in my 4.30 gears in the 94 many think 4.10's are to big but my car came with 3.27 gears factory so i dont think its a huge jump...definitly woke the car up but i am thinking of looking for some 4.56 gears the car can definitly handle a bigger gear then then 4.30's i have now... but im happy i am also super close to the nitrous being done im excited to see what it will run and how long it will stay together... because its getting close to my "other" motor being done...sooo im also excited for that decided to go carbed on the engine build however instead of f.i. like i originally wanted to go with..

with 4.30 gears I am going to guess your 1st and 2nd gear will be worthless when you hit the bottle.

It will be interesting to see your results though.

I have 4.30's as well, I switched from 3.73's. They're awesome and work great with my car and combo. Highway cruising is a breeze at 2500-2700 1st gear isn't useless either. Gear the car for the combination, sounds like youre building something nice.

I f'n hate my 4.10s. Everytime the light turns green and I hit the gas, all the **** in the center console flys back and ends up under my seat.

yeah i heard 4.30's and 4.6L engines go very well together...and if i do step up to a 4.56 i will save this gear for the womans stang...she has been hounding me for a 99+ stang and all my crap is very close to being paid off sooo i think i will be getting her what she wants soon...she should be happy


i am very happy for the 50 bucks it cost me to get this gear no noises or anything it was ran down the track 3 times and the guy snapped his axel and goofed up some crap and decided to get a 9" ....hello 4.30 gears they look great no marks or anything on them on super small nick of the side but i have no complaints
