    my opinion that gear swap would be a waste of time in a big truck, either keep the 3:73s or go 4:30s for a better improvement
    Simple: 408 on steroids!

    so what you guys are saying that 4.10's show a considerable amount of ET drop? I have 3.42's running 13.40 at 101 on a 2 second sixty foot with stickies.. whats the usual gain with 4.10's? Would i lose trap speed?

    That depends on the truck, but generally going from 3.42s to 4.10s will net awesome gains especially in the seat of the pants range.

    To the OP you need to drop some weight, add More stall, stickier tires, and some 4.30s.

    Is it traction problems you're having? That is a pretty terrible 60 for that ET. Not being rude or anything just trying to see what the problem is.

    Most sports require one ball, motocross requires two.

    Racing isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.
