Default Swap back.

Hi, your one of the first people I have seen swap back to stock ratio from 4:10`s. What was your reason for this?? Have 4:10`s with some mods, may go superchged, down the road, when the $ gets better,, Lol!!! But to tell ya the truth, I think it would work better with 3:42`s. Seems to me sometimes 4:10`s rev too fast too soon, and something gets lost in the sauce. Just my opinion, but I had it since I first put them in. Anyway,, nice work there!!!

You are correct, 4.10s will be too low of a gear ratio with a supercharger setup. Street tires will become useless. This car will be used in road race applications as well and you do not want to deteriorate traction around the twisties. With the increased torque of the supercharger you will be rowing through the gears quite quickly on the S/C app.

Umm.....what is that? Is this some problem the owner was not even aware of? That is scary....but what exactly is it and what caused it?
