Default 4.77 gears question

What kind of torque did the 4.77 gears add im just trying to find a way to give my car the much needed torque it deserves.

and i also see you have a boosted car. people with boosted cars tend to lean more toward the stock 4.1 gear instead of 4.77 because 1-maybe even 3rd for you might be useless

if your car was between 300-350whp range, then it would be a good idea to get 4.57's. 4.77's would still be much. I see you have 500whp. If I were you, I would just stick to the OEM 4.10's

To answer your, question, no it won't add any torque. It will accelerate faster

if you are a boosted ap1 then 4.57's would be okay but if you are boosted ap2 go with 4.44. it does not add torque btw.

4.77's will give you about 15% increase in power along the entire powerband. 4.57's are about a 10% increase. Gears dont "add" torque per say, but they shift your revs, which shifts your powerband, which gives you more torque. you have to shift very quickly to keep your speed advantage or there is no point other than the "feel" of the gear. also, dont forget you might lose traction much easier gassing out of turns.

with 500+ hp, you shouldn't need 4.77's... although it would be really fun. i'd stick with stock or go 4.3 or 4.44's with that much power.

4.77 is too high for your setup, you will constantly be shifting.

you need something like 4.57 or lower.
