yea the pictures are down. sounds like your really making progress on this thing tho! im following this thread

[JoeliusZ28]

Nick if you don't mind telling, what did you pay for it? You can PM me if you want. Ive been scouring craigslist for a month now looking for a killer deal (and have seen many i couldnt quite afford), but i never saw this car.

It was swapped then? ALL 6-speed cars from 94-02 came with 3.42s.

I'll take another look. What's the RPO code for the 6 speed? Is it just going to be indicated by the lack of the MX0 (Auto OD trans) rpo code?

very cool Nick. congrats!

not sure, you may be right.

[93formulalt1]

not sure, you may be right.

I was wrong, just checked the RPO codes again, it has the GU6 code, it is a 3.42 car.

Anyone with 4.10's care to inform me what kind of changes I can look forward to? Acceleration changes, gas mileage (city and highway), loss of top end, etc. I'm trying to decide between 3.73's and 4.10's, and I don't want to lose too much in the way of gas mileage. . .

[JoeliusZ28]

you will gain city mileage switching to 4.10s and remain consistent on the highway. However that said, I think 4.10s are overrated if you ever actually intend to make any power. I still have 3.42s in my car and I would never want 4.10s with my existing combo. Id be shifting gears as much as I would be in them. They are a good mod for a stock car. But get used to skipping gears!

4.11 here. i must not make power though
1850 rpm at 70~24mpg

Haha....after installing 4:11's in my car I'd never go back to a 3:42 like I had. Car felt like it gained 75hp after the swap.

Thats why i said its a great mod for a stock engine

I'll probably go to 3.73s or 4.10s after I build my next engine because I'll be spinning the RPM to put them to use.

I dont understand?

[Fox Slaughter]

The higher RPM you can spin the longer you can stay in gear.

[1BADAIR]

you always finish the 1/4 mile in 1:1=4th gear

[JoeliusZ28]

The higher RPM you can spin the longer you can stay in gear.

right, which is a concern for me doing road racing. right now ive got a 5850 rpm rev limiter. Granted not everyone cares about that.

I dont understand?

I guess it all depends what you are doing with the car. Bigger gears are always going to put more power to the ground and with a closer ratio they help you carry more momentum into the next gear. But that is the last thing I want to do right now, I was blowing the tires out the water in 2nd gear even before i did any weight reduction. (See video) Now it gets squirrely in 3rd. I think I would need a lightweight flywheel for 4.10s to work decently. My car will never see drag radials or slicks as I am setting it up for twisties.

all in the suspension. my car wont spin stock f1's
