i have a farely stupid questiopn but i was just curious what the difference is between 3.73 and 4.10 gears? Iss there a certain gear set thats idle for 1/4 mile. Also i would like to ask what the hell granny shifting is? if theres different methods of shifting then what are they?



p.s. how do u do a power brake

4.10 is a bigger gear than a 3.73... 4.10 is more useful for the strip.... and i duno what the hell granny shifitin is i think it is made up junk..... power brake , brake torque, burnout, all the same thing... 1 foot on the gas another on the brake, that is if it is a n auto... manual same just u gotta fit the clutch in there.... 3 pedals with 2 feet.....

Don't powerbrake with a stick. Just rev up to the proper RPM and dump the clutch.



Stand on your brake and hit the gas with your auto. When it starts dogging, you want to launch at the RPM right before it wants to.



Granny shifting...taking nice, easy shifts. Heel Toe, using all 3 pedals at once for braking, engine braking, and gassing it outta the turn.



Power shifting...keeping the gas down and not taking it off when you shift



Rev matching....getting engine and transmission input shaft RPM's at the same speed, eliminating the "lurch" when you shift and are a little off.

i would go with a good 3.73!!! not too high, and not too low. and as far as granny shifting goes, it sounds like something that came off of fast and the furious

Granny shifting is a legit term. Its shifting like a pu**y.

HAHA!! A MOTHA f**kIN MEN!!

well i couldn't have put it any better than that

i power brake with my stick(rear brakes are turned out a tad)... NEVER dump the clutch.. not good... you can load up the clutch THE let it drop but never just drop it...

Sorry you lost me... I thought you said you powerbraked your 5sp...

With a line locker you can power brake a stick, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise (unless you like replacing pads and rotors).
Granny-shifting = shifting way early, driving like my sister, etc. When I'm not screwing around I granny shift the hell out of my 5.0 - try and shift way before peak torque (I can get up to freeway speeds nearly as fast in my stang as in my subaru, except in the stang I can shift at 2500 every time.) ;)

7 month thread revival! NEW RECORD!

md..is a grany shifter*L*...I do it all the time for gas mileage...some times I do it when racing a camaro to keep it close*L*
we call it power braking with the automatic cars
I never rev and dump to much $$$$ in my drive train.
