Dont forget about the rear end. That has a major factor as well.

l would get a 430 rear. I have heard of people doing this and having good success w/ it. I went with a 410 and wish now I went 430.

What about the 6-speed Mazdaspeed tranny? 4.30's I presume? Or is that only in the RZ?

Mazdaspeed sells the 430 rear gears. I have no clue what people are talking about with the 430 trannies. I do not know a whole lot about tranny gearing so I will stick with rear gearing.



I needed new gears and Mazdaspeed was out of stock of the 430's so I bought the 410 gears, in hindsight I wish I waited and go the 430's.

Wouldn't the speedo be off going from 410 to 430?

Or is there some trick to fixing that?
