    4.30s in a Marauder result in the same final gear ratio as 4.10s in a Mustang. The taller tire of the Marauder kills the final gear ratio which is why the 4.30s are needed...There's a reason that no 4.10 geared, n/a marauder has gone 12s in the quarter mile.

    In a DD they are great, the MPG won't suffer and driveability will increase.

    Personally I wouldn't put 4.30's in a daily driver. There are many who have done this and have regretted it and replaced the 4.30's with 4.10's. You will lose at least 4 - 5mpg, your top end speed will be reduced and you have a better chance of the transmission tailshaft / driveshaft failing because the driveshaft will reach it's critical speed sooner.

    IMHO.... 4.10's are a better choice for a DD. In fact the Marauder was supposed to come with 4.10's until the bean counters needed an extra 1 - 2mpg. With 4.10's you will lose 1 -2 mpg and you RPMs at speed will increase by about 200. You'll also need a "tune" to account for the change in gears.

    I like to take the car out for a long drive now and then, I think I'll stick with the 4.10's. With my exhaust setup, another 150-200 RPM's will make it drone even more at highway speeds.

    My mustang with 4.10s gets over 20mpg (auto trans). A marauder with 4.30s will cruise at the same rpm as my car.

    Do a search on 4.30s, a member here has them and posted how much he likes them.

    Yea I agree with you'll there isnt a change at all from the Stock to 3.73s because I thought there would be a difference in my 1/8 time and there wasnt i just noticed a difference in my hole shot a little bit but hey I know for a fact im going to 4.10s because I see so many of you guys on here are flattered with your 4.10s.

    What would the gear ratio be with 4.10s on 235s. I use that size for winter, really no difference jus a lot easier to break loose.

    Nitrous with a dyno tune is the best bang for your buck. I know for a fact.
    Nitrous, a TURBO, 4.10's, are like a hot blonde with a STD, you really want to hit it but you are just afraid of the consequences.


    Best e/t 12.7 @108mph with a 1.9 60' on eagle f1.
    best on e/t streets 12.40 @108 with a 1.6 60'<---- finally NOT faster then justbob.

    4.10s with a 235/50-18 tires is not an effective 4.56 gear. lol

    245 dia ÷ 235 dia
    (28.6 ÷ 27.3) = 1.047
    1.047 x 4.10 = 4.2927 effective rear gear ratio with 4.10s and a 235/50-18 tire


    I run 265/50-18 street tire which is 28.4", my 255/50-16 drag radial is 26.0"
    28.4 ÷ 26.0 = 1.09
    1.09 x 4.10 = 4.469 or 4.47
