3400 lb Duster with driver, 3:91 gears, 315x60x15 ET Street Radails, 10:34 ET at 128.6 mph. I have used 3:73, 4:10 and the 3:91 in the same car with almost identicle results The motor is 518 C.I. pump gas with some good parts so that can make a difference, 700+ hp and 740+ ft lbs torque last time on the engine dyno

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... Fernando
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

About the torque I agree,,, but IŽll spend more time at the slower speeds... is it good ?!
By the way... anybody drives those 4:11+ gears on street or just at the strip!?

I have had the 4.11's on the street with some 255's and was at about 3200 RPM and running about 55 - 60 MPH.
