On a stock torque converter 4.10's and a g-80 or posi hook up pretty good. Go for the 4.10's!

With the stock converter you won't spin much.

That's about $130 more than you should have paid, if you have a 8.6" 10-bolt rear.

I asked the same question in another thread. I run 3.42's, G80 and a 5.3 and when i launch on the street, i spin about 10-15ft then hook pretty well. I think i'm going with 3.90's instead of 4.10's because i think i'll have hooking problems. 3.90's are maybe a little more realistic for us but i betcha low end would be badass with 4.10's. if you go with 4.10's, please let me know how they work for ya. Thanks and maybe i helped a little.

What tires are you running? Tires also play a big part on traction. 4.10s with a stock converter and decents tires will work great.

The tires I got now are 275/70 16, but I recently bought sum 20" I just haven't bought the tires yet, I'm still debating on weather or not I should get 45 series or 50 series size tires
