Mine's got 4.10s, a Lidio tune, and a JLT intake. You're welcome to come take a ride or drive in it if you want to see a difference. Those took my car from the mid 15s to a 14.2. If I had it to do over again, I would probably leave the gears alone. It is fun to drive though, and it will break the tires loose in a way that the stock combo never will.

Thumbs down No 4:30s

As stated previously - NO 4:30s in a MM - they just don't work well. You will be pleased with the 4:10s.

Save your money on installing spray and go directly to a SC - its the only way to go if you are serious about racing and speed.

4.10s with some 255/50-16 drag radials, effective rear gear ratio = 4.51 if you are still NA. What is your current mod list?

I'm at 13.72 with not many mods, 3500 stall, stock 3.55 gears and 16" drag radials. Hoping to have my 4.10s in before Sunday test and tune starts next month but this snow isn't helping anything.

Tune, intake, 4.10s, 3500 stall converter should be good for low 14's high 13's. I would hold off on juicing the motor, just do all of the bolt-ons and see where you are at then if 12's are still your goal throw a little juice at it.

id do just that as well with the exception of the 3500 stall. 3500 is just too much it gets really annoying especially if you have an aftermarket exhaust. id do a 3k if i were to do it again.

It's too much for 4.10's too - what's your 1/4 mile time?

I ran a 14.02 with 3.73's and a ~2800 stall PI (stock exhaust too)
