just got 4:10 gears

jpeister · Aug 29, 2010

Well I have a 95 Vert stock (for now) and just got 4:10 gears to replace the 3:27 did I spend my money right to pick up 1/4 mile time????? More mods to follow.... GT40 intake, 70mm throttle body, trick flow stage 1 cam, and one day heads ($$$$$)

Have now just Mac Off road H-pipe, flowmaster 40 ser, BBK shorty headers....

yeah I think you did good gears are a great bang for the buck.

jpeister · Aug 29, 2010

can anyone say how much of an improvement I will see going to 4:10 gears in the 1/4 mile.... With 3:27 an off road H-pipe and flowmasters I ran 16.028 @85mph... I can burn out like a MOFO but need mid range power does run consistant speed and time I am running 275/40/17 in the rear and stock in the front....

If you can get the tires to hook you should be in the high 14 to low 15 range. To correct your speedometer you will need a recalibrator such as a "SpeedCal". There is no gear that will correct for the 4:10's. That was the first mod I did and my times were in the mid 15's with horrid 60' times. I switched to 3:73's when I slapped on the KB.

Thanks for the info by Horrid do you mean really good or worse?? I cant see how they would get worse from stock...

Your more likely to spin the higher you go in gears b/c you get into the RPM's quicker but thats when better tires and suspension come into play

Did you notice a good improvement? I've been dying to get gears, I found a local set already in a rear-end, I have a 94 vert auto with basic boltons(intake, 70mm tb, cai, full exhaust, suspension)

Gears are the best bang for the buck 3.73, 4.10, 3.90's are huge improvements over anything stock considering most stock gears dont get higher then 3.27 unless your talking about very new models. Ive had 2.73, 3.27, 3.55, 3.73 and 4.10's. By far the 4.10's are my favorite. The first gear being useless is non sense, yes first is used quick but its not as some people make it out to be. Id even consider 4.30's if my combo required it.

By horrid I mean 2.4+ 60' times. There was no way the tires (Kumho Ecsta) would hook with the 4:10's

auto_x5.0 · Aug 30, 2010

I need to pick up some 4.10s then, lol

ivan12 · Aug 30, 2010

I like my 3:73s especially for a DD, if I had an auto then no doubt I'd throw the 4:10s or maybe even 4:30s in there

jpeister · Aug 30, 2010

Can't wait to put in the 4:10 and see what it does I will post as soon as I get it to the track maybe awhile....

Gears are awesome. 4:10s are perfect for NA.

CanaryGT · Aug 31, 2010

I love my 4.10's.

duh09 · Aug 31, 2010

I love my 4.10s as well. The only performance mod besides exhaust on my car haha.

I love my 4.10's

jpeister · Aug 31, 2010

OK the 4:10 are going in now can anyone tell me where to buy the elbow adapter for the gt40 intake.... Or can I just run the air filter right off the end of the throttle body kinda how the air filter sets on top of a carb....
