[QUOTE="WhiTriCobra, post: 15563161, member: 77590"] honestly, the point of gears is a quicker acceleration off the line but where will it trap you at?? You want to be trapping in your power band. With an auto..Boss IM and 3.15's, I'm trapping in the upper RPMS (BOSS power band) in 3rd gear. Netting me the best ET. If I add 4.10's...maybe a faster/better 60' but what if I trap in 4th gear at 3000rpms??? Now I'm at the low end of the power band and the second it hits 4th...you can tell the car is slower. Now you are trapping a slower ET. So now what. Play with tire sizes to make your gears more numerically lower? Also a 4.17 first gear with a 4.10? Better have something really sticky and hopefully your track preps well. But if you play on the streets only, 4.10 could be fun. I know in the past, with the way the auto mustangs were geared, it begged for 3.73's or 4.10's. but the way they are geared now, especially 1st...gears are not the issue. The stall is now. There are guys with the A6 that installed 4.10's and loved it on the street, hated it at the track. Streets... [/QUOTE]
