I LOVE MY 4:30's!! :bowdown:

I run 4.30s with 275 BFG KDWDs. I don't have traction problems in first if I feather the clutch enough, but it can get bad on the 1-2 shift. The rear end just can't seem to grab traction quick enough in second. Stickier tire would probably fix this.

If you are questioning gas mileage with gears...then gears arent for you. Shoot, a Cobra isnt for you, if you are questioning gas mileage.

I dont remember asking about mileage...that isnt my concern. Do you have to do any grinding to fit them, like a 4.56???

all gears are the same size, the only thing that changes is the amount of teeth on it.

Then 4.56s are for you!:thumbsup:
Used to have them in my 97.

Thanks for all the input...I think I am going to not "fear the gear" and get the 4.30s...anyone else with input is welcome to chime in

As long as you are comfortable turning about 3,000rpms at 75mph then go for it. I've had 3.73's for two years and am considering 4.10's over the winter. I'm torn as I've been told don't and do for a road course car.

actually for them to cahnge the amount of teeth the pinion can get larger or smaller so the ring gear will get skinnier or fatter. it sunds weird but ive done quite a few gears and you can notice a difference
