Black- 1999 Formula
What gears and stall should i get? ASAP
I have a 99 Formula, LT/ORY, SLP exhaust/intake, tsp 228r cam, tuned, and i plan on doing more down the road, like heads, fast 90 intake manifold, and other things, my car has 360rwhp, but im going to get over 400 at some point.
i plan on ordering a new transmission today (4L60E from performabuilt) and i want your opinions on the gears i should get, either 3.73 or 4.10, and also what stall, im thinking something like 3200, 3400, or 3500.
Thanks for whatever help i get

I like my 3.73.The differance from the factory 3.23 was very nice seat of the pants feel.Did not loose MPG on the highway.NA car I would run 3600 with 2.2 STR.On the highway you would not feel it and taking off in town would be amazing,Just my .02

With no power adder, go with a higher stall. I never liked gears unless its a race only car.
I wouldn't want to drive one with 4.10's on a DD.Black 1999 Blown Convertible A4

I live in lancaster, who makes the gears you have, and how much are you selling them for?

4.10's aren't that bad on the highway. 80 was like 3K in mine. I drove mine on the weekends with 4.11's (9inch). I estimated my gas at like 21/22 mpg mostly highway (Down from 30 with 2.73's and 1800 rpm 80 mph) with cam and 3600 stall. Don't regret it and would do it again in a heart beat. With 4.10's and a stall though get ready for stock in tires. With 315's and full rear suspension (LCA, PHR, TA, V6 springs, KYB shocks, etc) 1st and 2nd gears on street tires were useless. After the tune I could punch it at 45-50 and would be completely sideways.
Heres a vid of mine pretune. The trans was shifting too early and the stall acted funny from a 2nd gear roll.
