track times on stock gears vs 3.73 or 4.10's
#18
3.90's in a dakota rearend is perfect imo. but the 360 in my old r/t is junk compared to the 5.3 in my silvy. I think they might be worth the try. like a happy medium between the 3.73 and 4.10. I want all around performance. not just track. I still have 5years left on the note.

With the 2007 4.8l having +10 hp & -25 ft lbs compared to a 2003 5.3, I guess it would be close, but a decent shot @ 13's depending on track, DA etc. 1 way to find out!

i switched from my 3.73s to a set of richmond 4.10s. i ended up losing time in the quarter because i started hitting 3rd gear instead of holding second. this is with 33" tires though, so if your already hitting third then they should help. as far as highway driving, i lost very little but i was pretty much returning my ratios to stock, but switching from 3.23s i think there will be a noticeable loss in mpg unfortuneately, but they do feel a lot better to drive.
