just the addition of 4.10's with traction being the same usually nets about 3 to 4 tenths at least that has been my experience installing them on about 4 different cars, no way will it net a full second unless something went very wrong in the baseline run..and you will usually pick up a little mph also ..not much but every bit helps..

Hope to meet you. Your car is sick! I love it. I will definately be at CJ's especially since CJ's is donating the proceeds to a non-profit that I run. Should be a great day.

Now, back on subject... 4.10's will get you .3 or .4 at the most. In fact, some claim to go slower until they learn to drive the car.

if the suspension and tires stay the same... then you arent gonna see much from just 4.10's

howver, once you start modding it more and more... you will see more and more benefit from you gear

Your end of run mph is almost always in direct correlation with hp alone. Gear ratio only plays a part in this at the extremes ie under 2.73 over 5. Gear ratio will make your time quicker though to a point. Traction becomes the only issue.

Manual transmissions throw everything off because driver ability becomes a major factor
