RE: 4:10 gears

4.10s won't make your car faster than 0-60 from 3.73s because you won't hit 60 in in 2nd gear, however they will be faster in the 1/4 mile but not by much. 4.10s gas mileage you won't lose any but you will top out at 105 mph in 4th gear rather 118-120 with 3.73s.

I would not change them if you ask me.

4.30's FTW Fifth gear becomes usable5th gear drives like 4th used to before gear swap. 5th gear tops out at 180 for Cobra and 160 for GT, I dont know about you but id say it doesnt hurt top speed, and barely effects mileage.

RE: 4:10 gears

I had 3:73's and i went to 4:10's best choice i ever made. My quarter mile time went to **** though becuase of no traction. That was when i was pretty much stock with the stock gears i ran 13.9 w/ 3:73's i went 13.8 with some traction issues then with the 4:10's i went to 14.1ish no fn traction so i bought lower control arms and DR's and went to 13.5 all day long. that was when i had very basic bolt ons.
I also don't drive on the highway now a days except to the track but i use to with them. I really didn't have a problem on the highway when i did made 5th gear more useable. hope this helps

RE: 4:10 gears

there is no way you top out at 115 mph in 4th gear w/ 4.10s with stock tires and block. Your speedo is off way off.

RE: 4:10 gears

love my 4.10's and well i can say i didnt run a worse time with them..ran better acually .. so i guess it depends on the driver....

not getting rid of the 4:10's until im FI then might jump to a 373 or something else..need to trap higher

RE: 4:10 gears

Damn. 110 is maxed in 4th? I can hit 95 in 3rd... To the OP, upgrading from 3.73's to 4.10's in kind of dumb. It's not really worth the money unless you do the work yourself.
