4.56 to 4.10

[roccodart440]

I can't trap my car anymore with the 4.56's and my new engine so i'm swapping to a 4.10, which should put me through the traps at 124mph @ 6200. I make peak power at 5,900. I'm also swapping in a 4,500 9.5" Coan in place of my Art Carr 3,500, which is way too tight for my new engine. I also make peak tq at 4,500 now.

Currently I have to trap in OD and am at about 5,200

Wondering how much diffference i'll notice on the street with the new gears? Also wondering what you guys think i'll see at the strip?

At what rpm is your shift completed?

I went the other way 4.10, 4.30, 4.56 28" tire 200rpm change at cruise with the GVOD. A tenth quicker each gear. 6800 at the stripe in the hot summer air 340/A999 3500 tight TA 10" S-800. I expect to run 7K in good air. I do not use the OD at the track.

Update: The gears are in. Huge difference on the street.

I can't see trapping it at 7,000 if the engine peaks at 5,900

Good Luck at the track and hope the results are what you are looking for

Keep us posted! I'm doing the same gear change for the same reasons. Hope to get mine swapped next month.
