There most definently must be something with your car then. I mean you should be able to really spin your stock tires with 4.10`s

Are you 100% SURE you had stock gears?

Like 72mach said.....if you had 3.73s before...4.10s wouldn't feel much different. Maybe the previous owner installed them?

No guys i'm for sure they were 4.10's now I estimate to be running 55 when the speedo is at 85 or so i'm just saying expected to break the tires loose when I punch it in second gear and I dont get that I had stock gears in to begin with and just have some H Rated tires on it now i'm just saying its not nearly as dramatic as I expected I can get the car rolling in first gear then smash it and barely squeal the tires how do I contact this dallas speed cal?

I can't understand anything you just said.

You don't really have the HP to fry your tires off in 2nd gear even with 4.10's. How do you know you got the correct gears? Did you count the teeth? You don't know for sure until you fix your speedo, count driveshaft rotations or pull the gears.

Wow....that might be the worst thing ever....

No way in hell am I ever swapping out my 3.73s.....this just backs my reasoning...lol

If he DID have 3.73s.....and hes disappointed with 4.10s....then I would be too, haha.

Fck it....I'll get some 4.56's [8D]

i expect that this is not right.

i'm pretty sure i have 3.90(whatever it is was in there when i bought it) and my speedo is off by 8 mph.

Do you still have the gears that were removed? If so just count those.

you wont notice that much of a difference if youre just sitting at the line flooring it and dumping the clutch

go into 2nd gear right around 2500 rpm and just floor it, you'll pull much harder all the way through the rpm range in every gear (most noticeable 1-4)

if you cant feel it, youve got something wrong with your car

dont know what else to tell you man.....

unless your car had 3.73's in it to begin with and you didnt know it, you'd be the first person i've heard as well that wasnt impressed at all
^^^I think that may be the culperate!
