2003_SuperSport Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) The issue with this I feel is that once you get into the bigger power (which we'll all get into if we continue down the mod road) is that you'll have too short of a gear. With a FI set up and 4.56/4.88s 1st gear will be useless and you'll end up going back to 4.10s or even taller, or re gearing the Trans. I would agree with canadianVR with this to an extent... I have 4:56 and I absolutly love them... The hole shot is amazing and your 1/8th times will be better... BUT I am to the point with my mods that anything lower than these would be no bueno... (As I already have some front wheel spin from launch and a 3000stall) Anymore mods that increase low end TQ and I'll just be an AWD burnout Monster hahaha... If you were 2WD I wouldn't even consider that high or even 4:10's for that matter... Your sig states you have a 2004 SSS which I don't think they made so if you do a gear change you need to do the front too and it is fairly expensive if you don't do it yourself and the tolerences have to be right or you will have alot of whining which is also no bueno... You will hear a little more whine than now but shouldnt be able to hear it at highway speed... Also keep in mind you will be running about 2100-2400 cruising RPM's which will affect gas mileage.... If its not your daily than go for it if it is I'd only consider it.... I don't drive my truck alot if at all LOL and I would do it again if I had a choice.... This is with Radix/Cam/3000stall/Meth/ etc...... and 4:56 Gear ratio... If you listen closely through the insanley beautifully loud and blissfully wonderfuly maggie you can hear the tires breaking loose.... https://www.facebook.com/james.forbord?ref=tn_tnmn#!/photo.php?v=764007193630800&set=vb.100000645801109&type=2&theater Edited September 2, 2014 by 2003_SuperSport (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonte1997 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I just can't see a point where anyone would ever wanna go beyond 4.10s for a DD. Call me crazy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittySS Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I converted my truck to 2WD so i only need to worry about rear gears, 4:56 will be perfect for my setup. Just wondering about my rearend specs (10bolt 4:10 factory)Any help would be awesome! 8.5 or 8.6 ring gear? 28 or 30 spline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
