yea i just started talkin to the old man about it again he said we'll see i really want to go now lol. hey question for you guys. the rear i got came with 2 sets of gears. 4.30s and 3.70s recently ive noticed all the 6 speed guys run atleast 4.10s are the 3.70s not enough? i dont want to be bogging off the line. but i think the 4.30s will run out on the top end with the 27" hoosiers i hav

You will run out quick with 4.30's, I'm only going 10.90's and I'm out of gear with them..with 28" tall tires. Granted I'm an automatic but when my brother had a six speed in his with 28" tall tires, he was out of gear at 125mph. I would go 3.70's and save the hassle of swapping down the road.
