i put 4:10's and the locker in my car....i gave up a bit of top end, but its sooooo worth in the low end. I mean how many times a day do you plan on going faster than 120, or trying to race someone from an 80 roll.

I think mine runs about 3,000 rpms at about 70 mph. But mine might bea little higher with the locker, so i'm not sure. But its not that bad. MY car still gets excellent gas mileage too.

All of you guys HUMP 4.10s because everyone else does....4.10s are not the automatic perfect gear for every car and every setup.

I love my 3.73s.

Oh, and congrats on the car man! I wanna see more pics

+1. Yeah gears depend on the car and your needs. 4.10's wont automatically make your car fly.
