Yup - what Roger said. My thought with 3.73 was they are still "fairly streetable" while 4.56 will certainly introduce you to God when you hit second at WOT. Personally, I'd have a real stout 12 bolt professionally done or a Ford 9" if I were going to run anything higher than 4.11 as everyone I have ever known with 4.56 can't resist the urge to look to their first time rider and say, "hang on and watch this!" You'll also go through a lot of tires!

It sounds like you've got a sweet ride - would like to see some pictures. And it's okay if you're not the fastest one on the block. You know what you've got so cruise and enjoy the daylights out of it. I had a '57 Corvette in high school. It was untouchable until the day some rich kid showed up with a brand new '66 SS 396 Chevelle and whupped me real good. We had words, might have scuffled a bit and he left but my wounded pride stayed around a long time until I realized that I just really loved the Corvette and that was that!

Your ride - do as you want but my two cents says stay away from nitrious. It belongs at the dentist office. I think Asian imports and those who are Fast and the Furious wannabe types. I love the smell of nitro at the drags when top fuelers or funny cars run but high-octane pump gas is what hot rodding is all about. Again, just my opinion..

Best,

Yea I bought a big shot of nitrous kit but I will sell it I don't won't my motor hurt, I trying to find some tires that will hook I hear m/ t r tires are good I got nittos but blows them off got to paddle to much spinning is losing..

Also what about gear venders for my transmission,are the good

Got my 373 gears in my car (my builder did ) I go get it tomarow what about Mickey Thompson drag radails street R has anyone used them an if so will they hook , I got nittos 555s on her now but blows them off , spinning is loosing .

Got 373 s in rear end don't know if be any faster or not , some say with big b should have enough power to over come , some say 373 s might slow it dn in a 1/4 mile

6300 rpm were it made its power I will be at 6400 at 1/4

I believe the camero that beat me will have a hard time this go around I put 373s in an put m/t street r radails on her an she fast now I think before I was spinning half way dn tra ck

Well I race my buddy other day in the camero and beat him by 4 cars the 373 s brought it around

A while ago, the OP stated that he was racing his buddy on back roads, so I doubt that he would have any trap speeds or elapsed times for you.
