Hufen when you say problems and little gains what do you mean? What kind of problems? I read that the Spark kit adds 10-15 HP as well as the TB or is that a load of BS?

Yeah 4.10s is what I would go with. The only downside is SLIGHTLY lower fuel mileage.

4.10s are insane, it feels like adding probably 70 torque from a dig. There was actually a write up on what the "seat of the pants" feel was with 4.10s and i believe it equaled out to about 70 torque but i cant seem to find the write up on it anymore.

If you want a smoother ride, definately get tockio Adjustable D specs, you can have a luxury ride almost and then when you want.. just adjust them with a tool and have a race car launch.

They go great with springs since everything is off anyways.
