Im honestly considering the 4.10s on my GT, but have had mixed attitudes towards upgrading from 3.55s. I dont know that I would notice a difference for the price.

Well i think thats because a good tune and CAI will add power whereas I think gears are more a question of "feel". I dont think that gears can touch the bang for buck of tune/CAI. Also gears are not an easy thing for a driveway mechanic to tackle. Ive seen "professional" gear installs that whine, so theres always the risk of making it worse.

CAI/tuner is a great intro to modding, adds that needed boost and to take those shackles off of stock programming. Is always a great choice.

Like jayed53 mentioned, gears are more advanced and delving deeper into the world of modding.

BTW, my 4.10 gear set arrived today.. I am stoked. Hope I can get it installed soon.

Ditto, I have 3.55's as well & have long wondered if I will notice enough of a difference to go to 4.10's. I also plan on going to FI in the near future & for my specific goal, I think 3.55 will be a better gear. If I were to stay NA I might make the jump.

Opinions on the move from 3.55 to 4.10??????

For me, Cold Air Intake was a do it yourself mod. Had to have the gears installed by the shop, and then, since I had the tuner, I could adjust so my speedometer wouldn't be off.

4.10's or go home.

4.10's and twin screw or go home.

4.10's, twin screw, and 15" tires (slam that sh*t) or go home.

4.10's, twin screw, 15" tires, and slicks 24/7 or go home.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH A LITTLE JUMP OFF THE LINE, PEOPLE?
