Rear end ratio and quarter mile..
Why dont the people who are into the 1/4 mile upgrade to the 4.3 rear end? And how come i never see that in peoples sigs; the 4.3:1 rati., is it 'cuz people never do it? It seems like it would play a significant role in acceleration, especially going from a 3.9:1... ?
I donno, basically what Im askingis why dont more people do this upgrade?

yeah I most likely will have some 4.44 gears cut for my vert/t2 rear end. I had 3.90 on my vert and went to 4.10. I did notice a little difference. Not hard to notice a difference when you have like 120rwhp. Anyways
I rode in Kevin landers vert/t2 and he had 4.30 gears and their was a noticable difference I thought. One you will notice right away is higher rpms at 5th gear 70mph driving. Doesn't help you at the pump but higher rpms will help accelaration across the board. I am looking to run 400rwhp with 4.44 gears = just about unbeatable on the street.
