RE: 4.10s or driveshaft ??
I think it depends on what u are using the car for
if you are taking it to the track and not as a daily driver than 4.10s
but 4.10s will hurt your gas millage and you will be shifting sooner i may be wrong
an aluminum drive shaft will have less rotational enertia since it weights probably 20 pounds less, it will free up some horses
i think you should start with the shaft first
something to think about

both......you probably gain some MPG with the DS, you might lose some with the gears...break even!

if $$ is a factor 4.10s first then DS
the 4.10 actually make 5th gear work!

RE: 4.10s or driveshaft ??
ok..cool guys thanks..the only thing holding me back on the 4.10's is....... is there a traction issue since acceleration is so much harder...will hooking up be harder..is basiclly my main question..
