RE: just installed 4.10's...
Are 4.10's ok for a daily driver (eg about 30 miles per day in sometimes heavy traffic)? Seems like it would be a pain. I'm trying to decide on 3.73 vs. 4.1. I drive the hell out of my car every day.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Sure it is and you actually get to use 5th on normal city driving 
, I drove it on the highway and it still hammers! best mod yet!, If you have any doubt trust me you'll never look back you'll be glad you did 4.10's, your going to be doing about the same amount of shifting anyways except 5th gear is now accessible at low speeds.

I am so happy I went with 4.10 gears. MPG going to North Carolina was 25-26 MPG highway with 5 speed tremec 3650. This is an overall round trip average that I checked at each and every fill up. I could not believe the results and double checked the math each time, but I in fact got 25-26 MPG and was running 65-75 MPH average. IN town I get about 18-20 depending on how much stopping and starting I am doing. And yes 1st gear is still very useful. People don't real;ize that the 1st gear on a tremec is 2.87:1 ratio as compared to the 3.35:1 first gear ratio on the T45.

The 600 is the only trans that has a 2.87. In any case, the entire BS about 4.10s making 1st useless is just that... BS. The only way it is useless is if your running stock style tires and get no traction.. but its not the gears fault, its your tires/driving!

even with a 295 street tire its still usefull...I must say though the upper and lower control arms helped it to hook a bit more, but to anyone debating 3.73 or 4.10s...just pretend that theres no such gear as a 3.73...
