Gears

I'm considering gears for my 97 GT , is there a big difference between 3:73 and 4:10 ? The only mod I have for now is a CAI . Up next is gears , exhaust and maybe TB .

You only need 410's if you don't have power. Power > Gears

I really think the 'axle' and the 'tires' turn 1 to 1.

Perhaps you mean the driveshaft. Or also the pinion flange?

You just need a small gear that goes in your transmission. I have no idea how ti check or what goes into it.
