4.10's helped my traction??

I am not a good driver... I had never gotten better than 2.23
on street tires before, and averaged 2.3's

same 2,000 rpm launch before and after

I swaped in 4.10's and heard traction would get even harder...
but I cut 2 2.03's first time back to track...same tires...
i also had several 2.1's and that is better than I have
ever done... ET went from 8.83 to 8.52 with 4.10's

My friend with a 98 ss had the same results with a 6 spd. He finds it easier to time the "let the clutch out hard (but not too hard) and hammer the gas hard" (but not too hard) street tire routine. And it comes out of the hole really nice!

it must be different with the 6spd.. cause i had some tires i couldnt get to break loose with 2.73s and staretd eating them alive with 3.73 lol. but i think i fixed that problem... i lightened my foot but youll love the change.. i was absolutely floored by the difference it made in my car, especially at the first 45mph punch 60 is nice too.. and anything after that you basically stay in the powerband.... well thats how my LT1 was anyway *shrug* but i still dont understand gaining traction with 4.10s .. must have to do with it bein a 6spd and how quickly u can let out the clutch like the other guy said..
