I don't know why you guys get so upset about that. That was one of the most fun times I've had in my car. I didn't ruin anything on it, no damage, just having some fun skiddin around in mud. I cleaned it thoroughly afterwards, and everything was fine.

Now I wouldn't do it again since my car is much nicer looking now, but at the time I had a blast.

Also...were you doing the AOD shuffle??

No, people just like to leave it in D when doing a burnout and it doesn't have enough balls to spin one low profile street tire through 2nd gear with 4.10s so it shifts into 2nd, falls on its face, shifts back down, repeat, until said master driver releases brake pedal and continues burnout for the next 7 feet. It's a really impressive stunt.

My 210hp '89 4x4 Chevy with 180k miles and 12.5" wide 33s would look like John Force next to you.

4.10s and running out of gear, how fast do you plan to be trapping at the track with just a KB strapped on top?

Eh, seems like at least 130. What, just a KB won't make 600 to the ground??

Chill out guys. I know I'm not going to be putting down 600 hp with a KB. I'm hoping for ~300 with it. If you don't think i'll run out of gear with 4.10s then I'll keep them, but I just wasn't sure, and thought I'd be safe with 3.73's. But if 4.10's will do it then thats fine. I'd rather not have to tear that apart anyways.

I think the 4.10s will be just fine. But you have to tear it apart to fix the trac lok anyway.

True true. I love my 4.10's. I mean, nothing really beats being able to light up your tires (or tire) just by hitting the gas without even having to brake torque it. Saves me more money since I'm on a college budget too.

Doing gears while your in there would be nice, but gears are a much bigger job than repacking the trac lock. I say leave the 4.10s, run it like that and see what happens!
