Re: 4.30's or 4.10

[QUOTE=CMcCarthy]Not entirely true. Did you ever actually wind yours out in 4th and put it in 5th? I did with 4.30s and it still seemed to be pulling quite sprightly to me. 4.30 gears turn 5th into an actual useable gear for accelerating.

I have to disagree with you. I have wound mine out to 6800 in 4th at least 50 times and let me tell you that if there is another mach just off your quarter panel or a cobra chasing you down when you shift into 5th it feels like they turned on the boost or something. They will walk right by if they have stock 355's or 373's. It might feel like it is pulling quite "sprightly" but it isn't enough to hold off the highway geared cars.
