Considering 4:10's
For my next mod i'm considering a set of 4:10's ..I would like to hear from the 05/06 owners out there who have had em installed..Did it pick the car up that much?..Any regrets in having them? How bad did it kill your gas milage?

I know my car is not a 3 valve but i went from the stock 3.27s to 4.10s and my mileage did not go down at all. It is not as much of a change from your 3.55s as it was for me.
At high speed on the highway, I think you would lose a little bit of efficiency because the RPs will be higher but as long as you keep your foot out of it it should be fine.

i put on the 3.73's and it is still hard to keep my foot out of it...i could only imagine if i would have gone with the 4.10's. the only thing you are gonna do is lose top speed and have higher rpm's at those higher speeds. it's a good trade off though.

Dear Mac10chap,
I just want to compliment you on the look of your car...
It is "SMOKIN'"...
I also had the 3.73s installed and later a supercharger...
Best all around gear selection...
Strong acceleration, good highway performance and not too much gear for the addition of an S/C..
Best of Luck, Dave
