Gears (Not Repetitive)
OK....No worries people i already know that im going to get 4:10s we dont have to worry. I was just wondering like if your going to describe to someone this modification what would you say? It has to do with the rear end right? I know this is a newbie question but thats why i belong to this forum....Also how much do gears usually cost installed?(assuming the shop has reasonable pricing)

RE: Gears (Not Repetitive)
essentially, it's the ratio of the number of times that your driveshaft turns with respect to your tire turning once
so, if you get 3:73's your driveshaft has to turn 3.73 times to turn your tires once. if you get 410's your driveshaft turns 4.1 times to turn your tires once. therefore, at low rpms (like when you're at the line), the higher ratio takes load off of your engine, because it's not trying to do so much work all at one time.. this enables your engine to turn your tires faster and thus you accelerate quicker
