      4.10s are doable in a lockup car, but I'd stay with the 3.73s and get a converter if you don't have one already the real gains will be minimal.

        i got a 2800 vigalanti right now, with an eaton posi, just thinking take off fun.

        its not a daily driver but i do go for rides to detroit from time to time on the highway from midland. fuel milage dont matter since right now i only get 190 miles then i stall MT. lol

          The 700r already has a 3.06 ratio in 1st gear compared to a TH 350 which has a 2.52 ratio for 1st gear.
          The TH 400 has a 2.48 1st gear.
          So I don't know if you will notice much difference by changing the rear end ratio to a 4.11 from a 3.73?

            You'd notice a bigger gain is restalling to say a 34-3600 than a gear change and you wouldn't lose any mpg on the highway.

                      i have a friend with a 4000, he really has to wind it up to move the car, wouldnt that just be a pain, sitting at a light and not moving till you stomp it, or is his just wrong?

                          then some one messd up deriks car, anderson, he would go to take off or back up and really had to get on it.
                          now i got the 700r4 not the 4l60e would i need to tune the car with a new stall, seems like almost everything needs a tune even if you just change minor things, lol

                            When did you see or ride in Derek's car? Last year his converter or trans took a shit so that was probably most of the problem. Mine moves at around 2300 if I feather the throttle, leaving in a normal fashion off a light its hardly noticeable to me but w/e your happy with. I don't think you need a 4K converter but what you have now has lots of room for improvement.
