They make your car all around faster. Your take off will be much quicker because your RPM's will climb way faster. But on the freeway you might rev 500 rpms more. Dont listen to the **** on here about your gas mileage will b way less with 4:10, just get them and be happy. They make your car feel faster than most of the bolt ons can do

Definitely get 4.10s gears. I just had them installed and they are absolutely awesome. I am still getting 90 miles on a quarter tank of gas with my 4.10s. I had 3.27s in before them and I used to get between 95-100 gallons on a quarter tank. Depending on the transmission, you can get a short throw shifter like the MGW or Steeda Tri-Ax or if you have an auto, you can get a shift kit, stall converter and trans cooler. You would have a decent 14.4-14.5 ride with that all done. You could do headers also, or a throttle body/plenum combo, alot of websites have a sale on them now.
