i was also wondering if 3.73 or 4.10 would be best for my car, and how will it affect gas mileage and daily driving? will the rpms be too much, will the gas mileage go way down. and also, do you think i could beat a lamborghini from a 100-200 roll race?

the lower the gear ratio, the better. i personally wouldn't go with anything less than 6.10s for acceleration. you may lose a little top speed (3-4mph at most) but you'll get there in no time flat. with the 6.10s, i'd recommend you racing the lambo from a 170 roll. your tires will easily break lose at anything slower. in 5th gear, you'll be around 20,000 RPMs which isn't that much as long as you have a cold air intake. i'd recommend a 7 speed transmission with an overdrive though. if you're looking for a higher speed car, (350+mph) then i'd opt for 1.73 gears. don't forget the nitrous though. hope this helps.

fuck it, go 4.30's! you'll be measuring fuel efficiency in gallons per to the mile!
and if you're worried about that lambo, just go to Pep Boys and get you a big wing and some stickers, slap em on, and smoke that Lambo! make sure you post a vid, though...

Yes I concur, also if you want to hit 400mph you'll need some michelins.
