the only people who are glad they dont have 4.10s are the people who have never driven an equally ste up 4.10 geared car

But I would really have to do some more research on it before I made a finally decision. Does going from 3:73s to 4:10s really make all that much of a performance difference?

RE: Tlock and Rearends
I had 4.10s in the car when it was NA, and got 23mpg. I was happy with them. I switched later to 3.73's due to the amount of TQ I was running, and the fact that I was spinning through the 60ft marker. The 3.73's for my setup made the car more manageable on launches.
When I had 4.10s, I ran a 28inch rear tire to get good mpg. That helped my effective gear ratio, brought it down to around 3.90.

Ok all the Tlock threads around I will add another cause I am in on the other. Well I was thinking about getin a Tlock till I heard the are really weak and would or might break in my car. So then I thought about getting a GT rear but I dont where to find them, how much they cost, or what gear they would have in them. Also what gear does a 05 V6 Stick have in it from factory.
I am planing on going for Mods like Ram Air hood and CAI Combo, Dual Exhausts (proably no headers for now). Later a Throtle Body and a Tunner

Alright, the 7.5 is weak but with that being said, it will hold up to about 400HP but don't expect it to last with high TQ numbers.
I ran a t-lock and 3.73's N/A on my car, it dyno'd at 205HP and 247TQ, made about 75 1/4 mile passes with it and it went well. Never a problem. Many have had huge success with F/I (X-charger and Vortech) only have a T-lock and 7.5 running in the high 12.'s. but not many.
If you only plan on staying N/A keep the t-lock and get a gear, I went with 3.73's and loved them others swear buy the 4.10's, it 6 in one hand half dozen in the other.
Other topics: no headers, no real gains N/A nor is the TB, its really a waste.
Best advice is get your car set up and go get a DYNO tune from a good tuner. It will make the biggest difference.
