ICEMAN1647545504 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 With 4:30's on a T5 1st gear will be way too short (if it's a T5)... I think you might wanna do 4:10's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 i am spraying, but from my understanding its better to go with a steeper gear with nitrous? ie a 430 with 175 shot should feel like a 410? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qtr_pndr Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 wrong have a friend with a stock longblock spraying a 175 shot 26 in tall tires with a 3.73 going through the traps right at his shift point in 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 go for a ride with dave and his 4.10 first before you buy.. you might decide on a 3.90 or 3.73 unless you're running a 28" tall tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 yeah i rode in my bud (Windsor86) who has 373 and I think I need steeper, I would like to check out someones setup with 410s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN1647545504 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 My buddy had 4:10's and I dont like them... 1st gear is too short... 3:90's maybe a good in between option... 3:73's will not work for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 410's are too much with a t-5 you can save money with a motive or jegs brand gear over the motorsport stuff if you get it setup right it will not make noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 i have a t3550, forgot to mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 i have 373s and would reccomend them buddy of mine had a fox with 410s and first gear wasnt there.. if you have the 3550 tho might not be that bad ill have to look at the ratio differences but imo 373s are all around good gear for any power adder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 TKO 3550-TKO 1st 3.27 2nd 1.98 3rd 1.34 4th 1.00 5th 0.68 Rev 3.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 well the t5 first is 3.35 i belive so you would have a little more first gear with 410s then a fox but i guess its all personal preference and what your plans for the car are I say 410s max if going with a 4 series gear.

Guest Removed Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 my old t-5 car setup! 4.30 gear, 28" tall tires mainly stock N/A high 12's spray car....3.73's with a 27 or so. think on the spray on the big end to will be spinning it harder then you will N/a tko- go with the 3.73. 1st is shorter then you think with 26",tko and 3:73 4.10 are nice, but leaving in 2nd with 4.30's on a 26" tire is what you would be doing. unless your real good and snapping 2nd before the 60' mark.but 4.30 on spray with a 26...never id go with the 28" tire and let it hook. make sure the box's are braced!!

Guest Hal Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Dover, I will be pulling my 4.10s in a couple weeks. If they're in fine shape you can have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
