My Z has run 11.04, 11.09, 11.06 with 3.45 gears I install 4.10's thinking I will get a 10 sec pass well that did not work as I thought I got a killer 60ft time and thought h@ll yeah this is it picked up my timeslip 11.10's well anybody wanna guess why, ok i'll tell you had an extra shift.

4.10's are lame and loose big end that's what our cars were made for,top end.
With 3.45 gears I top out 4th at 155-160mph with 4.10's 135mph
and if anyone has shifted into 5th would also know she falls flat on her face in 5th.

4.10's will get you better 60ft times over the 3.45's but with the extra shift takes it right back.

Reinstalled 3.45 back in her and happy again.

Shifting into 6th from 5th @ 7200RPM with 4.10's & 422RWHP car really noses over, fighting wind resistance
