Quick ? About Gear's

HooniganRacing · 06-03-2010

Hey, Guy's I was wondering I currently have 4.30 gear's and I'm gonna be moving to Pennsylvania and at 70mph my rpm's are at 2500 will that be alright going all the way to PA or should I swap to 3.73 gear's. I just don't wanna hurt my car. I really need to know if it's alright to keep my 4.30's cause me and my fiance want to get out there asap and I already have to buy 4 new tire's so we will make it out there we are just trying to save as much money as possible is all. That's why I need to know thanks. I know I already kinda asked this ? but that was when I was thinking about a SuperCharger lol.

2500 should not be a problem at all. 3.73 would save some gas money but I dont know if it would equal the labor of changing the rears 2 times.

I figured my 4.30's would be fine. I was just making sure is all. My car has 87,000 mile's on it know is there anything I should be concerned with about my car before I take it to PA. I already know the basic's make sure all the fluid's are good and stuff like that but is there anything I need to be concerned about with the mileage of my car taking it that far ? Other than getting new tire's sound's like I'm set to go.

Just check the fluids and let her fly! She will be just fine at 2500 RPM.

Sure it will get a little less MPG than if you had taller rear gearing, BUT I wouldn't change the gears for a few more miles per gallon.
