Re: 4.30's or 4.10

Lots of great information here, however, one thing seems to be constantly missing, which is if you're running an auto transmission or a manual? Really important bit of information, but 70% of the people here don't mention that, so it's really hard to gauge what and why people like something when the simple fact of what tranny there are running is missing. I digress.

I have automatic Mach 1, it's a Sunday driver only, I plan on doing both 1/4 mile and some open track days (Laguna Seca to be exact). I've done 2 tracks days at Thunder Hill and with stock gears the car did great. I don't think autos are great for open tracks, but the Mach did really well anyway.

I'm also going to run 18" tires with 285/35/18 (which I believe are taller than stock tires).

I would greatly appreciate any information.

What gears can I get away for my situation, 4:10's ro 4:30's
