What IŽm thinking about... IŽbe a 3:73 gears on a 318 aproximatly 450hp.. I donŽt have that torque so.. changing 3:73 to 4:10 will have a great effect on my ET ?

Have simulated it on software Drag2003 and canŽt see much improvement...

You'll see a difference specially with a 318. Since
you basicly dont have much torque you need the steeper
gear to use it as a torque multiplier, you'll be
spending more time at the slower speeds

If you look at the time you spend trying to come
off the line to lets say 200' you spend most of the
track time there(per given distance), steeper gears
accellerates harder quicker to move you that distance
