RE: 4.10s on an auto
I've got 4.30's in my auto. I like em for short trips around the city, but HATE em on the interstate or for any speed over like 60. Because I tach too high up for long periods of travel. Plus it seems like my tranny has some trouble with the gears. It's sloppy if I am on it when it tries to shift. Wasnt like that before the gears from what I was told. But once again it's personal preference. I dont recommend them for any sort of distance outside of city traveling.

If its a huge pain on the highway i might not want to go that high of a ratio then

RE: 4.10s on an auto
personally i luv my 3:90's...since im goin FI i definitly didnt want 410's but wasnt sure on 373's either. so i chose to have the upper hand on the FI boys with 373's and blowers. if you wanna your car pull a little bit better with not a substantiate loss in gas then go 3:90. personal preference though...

RE: 4.10s on an auto
yeah mileage is gonna drop with the gears-i dropped about 30 miles to a tank and i do half city half highway driving-And a side note-traction will be an issue after the gears are in-so id invest in some tires sooner than later-i got the mickey drs-absolutely the best mod i've ever done for the car-launch at 1600 and the cars shoots out like ana animal
