Default Using 3:73's or 4:10's for 97 GT
I am looking into buying some gears right now, but i would like to know what would be the best one for my 97 Gt. A list of my mods are on my signature. I have a 97 Gt, i do not plan to supercharge at this time, but possibly in the future. I would like to know what the power and acceleration difference is between the two. I don't care about top speed or anything like that, my main goal is acceleration. Thanks for your help!


Steve

Well since you have a 97 4.6 I would say 4.10's. Your car is down on power and since you are only wanting acceleration then I think they would be best. but remember acceleration is also based on get traction, so tires and suspension mods should also be looked at.

Is your car a auto or manual, that makes a big difference in picking a gear.
