4.10s because they last more than 5000 miles.

4.10s because you will use them everytime you drive. Not just at a track or for a few miles. How are those underdrive pulleys working out?

Definitely the 4:10s. Longer lasting fun.

For the cost of 4.10s and installation, I would prefer a pair of spare rims and M/T ET Streets. Brenspeed sells a good package.

If the track is were you wanna go, I would go with the Drag radials first. From experience adding 4.10s will increase the fun factor on the street, but net you less traction at the strip.Addinggears willkeep the car in itsRPM range and be great for the track.... thats if you have traction.My first gear is worthless at the drag strip due to wheel spin with the gears. Get the DRs first..have some fun at the track then purchase some 4.10s when you get the money and enjoy4

I like them.. I had them installed the same time as my exhaust intake and tune.. so I couldnt tell you what kind of gains the pulleys alone would net. a few hp I'd say but I haven't had any problems with the battery or charging/dimming lights. I would say they are a nice little mod for the money.
