[flame suit on]
which gear should i run. the 3.73 i have or the 4.10 i was thinking about. i am an auto with shift kit and be a 3k stall.
also is there any difference in driver use of a mechanical wot switch vs the electrical?

you 3.73s should be good for a 100 shot. the wot switch what do you mean mechanical?
I've installed the NX electric one along with the Zex wide open throttle switch. I have the Zex one in my 91 and it's a pain and had a few problems with NX one's working sometimes and then not working at all. IMO i'd go to radio shack and buy the mechanical micro switch. It's alot cheeper and one less electical part to worry about.

so what im really wanting to know is if i buy the mechanical one....is there any difference in driving...like will i have to do anything different using a mechanical wot switch instead of the electrical?
No your driving will be the same for both. You make a braket for the manual and adjust it to where you want it to come on. With the NX electrical you adjust a screw on the module to have it kick on at the wide open point you want basied of the TPS signal. The Zex one like I have you hit a button and go to full throttle and then let off and it programs itself. The down side it's non adjustable and half the time it won't program right.

cool...sounds like mechanical for me.
i would put the 4:10 in your car with it being a auto and everything it will like the 4:10s
If the 3:73's are already installed, just leave them alone and don't worry about it.
i have a buddy, his name is brian he has an 88 gt, with only mac headers and a prochamber with flows, with a 3000 converter and a stock intake plate kit with a 150 shot he was running 12.00 on a 1.57-1.59 60ft ask the guy u are buying the hood off about it he know who im talking about. u will want the 4:10 they will make a big difference in your auto car. even more with 26 inch tall tire you car should go through the traps with the 4:10 at right around 5600-5700 which is just about perfect for a mostly stock 302 car
5600 is way past peak power but thats all he'll have to help him get thru the traps.
there was a guy on corral i believe it was, with a high mileage GT with suspension and exhaust and went 11.8 with 100 shot, full weight minus the rear seat. it been a few years since i seen that site
I'm using a WOT switch (this one). I have it hooked up to the throttlebody.
I would keep the 3.73's, I have 4.10's in mine and with a 26" tire I run out of gear before the 1000' mark. A 28" tire has helped get my rpm's where I want them.
A couple of runs on 26" tires
