4:10 gear ratio question.... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Vette73 · 05-21-2015

I read somewhere that the ideal gear ratio for these cars are 4:10s

From what I read,Chevy originally wanted to install these,but the EPA gas mileage for the car at that time,would have been too low to satisfy...

I'm really not worried about gas mileage and seeing how I will be living between 2500-5500 rpm I'm thinking of installing...

I really don't know anyone that has this car with this set up so I could test drive first, so I'm left just to ask for opinions at this time..

What brand name set is good? I have OBX headers, OBX catback,Marc's chip, external engine temp wire relocated and hurst shifter...

I'm sure there are a lot of members with this sort of set up that have the 4:10 gears....

Opinions?
