[QUOTE="TroyV, post: 9288845, member: 28469"] Johnny Mac is right. With only five or so events of experience, you likely haven't found your car's absolute limit. It is very easy to get caught up in modifying or making changes to your car to enhance performance when what would be much more productive (and more cost effective) is to concentrate on you and your driving. That said.... Years ago, I was in the same boat, although the car was a 99gt. After stagnating....reaching the limit of the car, I made changes which would allow me to be at the very top of 2nd gear a predominant amount of the time on course. I'm not exactly sure what 4:10's do to your second gear. I'm sure that there are many calculators online that will tell you the answer. If you look at the type and design of the courses you are running, you refer to your dyno chart, and use your gear selection to place the meat of your power in the range you'll use most in those conditions, then you can't go wrong. In the case of my old GT, the gear selection was for 3:73's. That combined with an extended rev limit (comp cams and springs) was able to push to 7k in 2nd with a decent amount of power. Best of luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
