Looking for some opinions, Im going to be doing my solid swap soon, figured id come here to see what some people thought..I will be spraying the car so 4.10's will be out..Should I stick with the stock gear and stay 3.55? or bump it a little to 3.73's??
Gears for my solid swap..
- Thread starter HouseSVT
- Start date
What do you expect to trap in the 1/4 (mph)?
What size tires are you running?
What is your redline?
Where is your max hp (rpm)?
Basically what rpm do you want to be at when you cross the 1/4?
That's what you need to be focusing on.
Nobody should actually vote on this until you list those things.

Shifting @ 6400
6200
6400-6600...
why the head shake? I would think that would be too much gear and I dont want to run a taller tire to cut it down?postban said:

And what mph are you trapping/expecting?
What's your redline?
This site should help you decide:

should be trapping around 122...Im shifting at 6200-6400, redlines 7000
i like the 3.73's. thats what I got in my solid rear.
Then do the 3.90 if not 4.10.HouseSVT said:
With the 3.90 and 26" tires you're good for 140mph at 7000 rpm.
Right now you're crossing the 1/4 at about 6100 rpm.
Even with 4.10 at 7000 rpm you'll be going 132 mph which will put you well into the 10s.
If I were you I'd do the 4.10 and if I get close to trapping 130 I'd switch to a 27" tire.
