Gears: 4.10 or 4.56?

[66nova]

I havent started reseaching on the superchargers yet. I am going with the 4.10 gears for mainly top end so i don't run out of gear. Then next is the tranny upgrades then i be looking into superchargers. Yes i still have the 63 and i am selling it. I also have a 06 low low miles zx14 but i am going to keep it. Wife was getting p.o. cause i was taking up the garage and driveway with all my toys. I sold the 78 nova last night for 4900.00 so now at least she can park in the driveway. I am not wanting to sale the 63 cause i also have a 454 an the plan was to put it in it. I figure after all the smoke clears i will find a new project to put the 454 in...

I am no expert but don't you generally want a lower numerical number for top end? The higher you go the better you are out of the hole, and the less you gain on the top end.

I think he is saying in comparison to the 4.56s.

I might be a little off but if I was building a mud truck, I would go with 4.56 gearing or even 5.02...

For what you are trying to do I would go with 4.10's!
