From 4.10 to 3.73 with same converter?
« on: July 04, 2010 - 12:35:59 PM »
I got a low rear gear, which is getting a little tiresome on the highway.
So I'm considering to go for a 3.73 rear, and later get a GV for the overdrive.
A 3.73 should still be a good kick when accelerating from standstill, and 3'rd over with a GV will give a 2.91 rear.

Now I have a 2400 rpm stall speed converter, will it be fine with a 3.73?
