4:10 gear not as good as it may seem...opinions?
just want to say..that every time i race a truck with similar mods but a 3:42 instead of my 4:10 i get the jump from a 30 roll of coarse but as soon as i hit 3rd at about 80mph..they come screaming around high in 2nd gear..
and from a 55 roll ill jump out hit 3rd they instantly get beside me and top end is identical
dont know if i should put 26" tires for an even lower gear or just go back to 3:42

my 4.8 needed the 4:10 jus to get goin but now the 5.3 goes through gears to quick lol and i think the extra low end torque and high gear ratio would be a good combination

this kind of the reason i never put gears in mine
Its the 3rd gear that kills them if you dont have power.
My truck on 3.42s shift into 3rd at 103 with 410s it would shift at 85mph and start to lag
a 410 truck will hit 3rd at 85 where i am still pulling hard till 100 on the 3.42s
