Default Re: 4.10 gears...not what I expected.

So Pete, how much better did your 60ft. times get with the 4.10's?

The combination of a better 60ft. time, combined with the advantage of being able to stay in a, (higher), more powerful RPM range throughout the run should add up to a better e.t.
It doesn't seem possible that the brief power shift from 3rd to 4th costs you THAT much.

Is it a possibility that with your high power output, (550+?), and the 4.10 gears, you may need more tire to see the full advantage of this gear ratio?

Your times are phenomenal. But its just hard for me to believe that the best 1/4 mi. e.t. for a high power, high rpm ZR-1 is with a three speed with no torque converter.
