Who else notices the 4.10s sucks from a 70+ roll...

Screamin' Demon · Oct 14, 2004

...Im pretty sure my 3.08s were slightly quicker from a roll going 70+ than my current 4.10's. Of course I knew this would happen but its so much better racing from a dig. I just hate all these imports racing from a roll all the time. I had a VW 1.8t do this to me and of course I caught 3rd gear but neither on of us could pull, but i imagine i would destroy him out of the hole. Guys with 4.10's whats your opinion?

stangman · Oct 14, 2004

it's in your head.

the only way that they wouldn't be benificial to you is if you are running past about 110 or so when you start to need 5th.

At 60mph I'm at about 3k-3200rpm which is a pretty good place to be for a jump. But at 70mph I'm probably at 35-3600rpm which is even better. this is all in 4th gear in a 5spd. My 4th runs out at about 110mph.

from 3.73's to 4.10's, I think I might benefit more from the 3.73, but then again, I drive a standard car and race it mostly in bad track conditions where I see it hurt my 60ft. due to loss of traction w/ 4.10's. I have to really slip the clutch and sometimes even that's not enough for the better traction I had with 3.73's

The 4.10's f#cked up my powerband (or I should say changed it) in my 97 Cobra. If I try to downshift into 2nd at 45-50mph, I bounce off the revv limiter. Even 40mph is pushing the limits! If I try to get into 3rd gear on the highway at 70mph, I usually bounce off the limiter or end up shifting a second later. It SUCKS, becuase 3rd gear used to be great at 70mph with the stockers. 60mph is now the sweet spot for 3rd gear. Between 65-75mph is a really bad place for gearing, b/c I'm usually forced into 4th gear which is "slow" at those speeds. 4th is good for 80+mph.

Punching it from a dig and it feels like a rocket, its a blast to drive. But downshifting is definately more tricky now, its limited my passing ability more.

yeah, le 4.10's are great for the high speed rolls...going 70 hit fourth, which drops you right at the begining of the powerband, till 6K which comes soon and then 5th until they give up. ..def. pulls harder to me in 5th. . .wayyy better than 3.08's, well, until I redline in 5th. . .but I'll get there first dammit

doveman · Oct 14, 2004

2nd Gear - 35-40 mph
3rd Gear - 55-60 mph

i have found that these are the best roll starting speeds, in first youre pretty much gonna spin and the only decent speed for 4th is 85

I think the reason you think 4.10s suck at a 70mph roll is that you are in an automatic. You are so low in the rpm band that the car will feel sluggish when you hit it as it gradually increases speed and rpms.
With my cobra the viper six speed and 4.30s can put me in the perfect rpm for pretty much any mph roll. If someone wants to go from a roll at 50mph I am at 5000rpms in 2nd gear, from 70mph I am at 5100rpms in 3rd. Its perfectly in the beginning of the sweet spot in my power band.

Cobra Jay · Oct 14, 2004

What's the point of racing from a 70 roll anyway!?

IMO, if you're going to fast to be able to downshift into 2nd, it's a waste of time.

2000BLKGT · Oct 14, 2004

bolt on a Kenne Bell...problem solved.

Screamin' Demon · Oct 14, 2004

Could be in my head mostly and due to the automatic. From a dig tho this setup hauls pretty damn good. It will bark second real nice now. Of course that means im losing traction. hehe I need more mods now.

02LaserRed2V · Oct 14, 2004

My auto sucks from a roll with the OD on. That's why I usually have it off when going 50 or less.

Agreed! Who races from a 70+ roll anyway? You're gonna die early or kill someone else... Grow up and go to the track.

Craig Mack · Oct 15, 2004

Oh crap....I didn't realize you had an autotragic...oh CRAP...I didn't realize you have non PI heads......

I'm going to see myself out of this discussion.

CottonBurnerz · Oct 15, 2004

best jump for 4.10

30 mph = 2nd
50 mph = 3rd
70 mph = 4th

GinoGT · Oct 15, 2004

4.10's a great for real straight-line racing, which is done from a stop, at the track.

99StanGT · Oct 15, 2004

Street Racing is not Drag Racing. Screw those stupid ricers and there 6 foot wings that supposedly keep it stable under high speeds. Too bad most ricers cant make it past there rev limiters at 115. Just my $0.02

I do, and I'm still alive

From a start a civic could do as good as a mustang. Above 60mph, that's where our power starts talking

That must be one lame ass Mustang, or one quick Civic. Those things have absolutely no low end.

BullittStangV8 · Oct 15, 2004

Yea unless the civic has a ton of work done to it, they are turds up untill 60, and even after 60..
