[QUOTE=04 kevinp gt;6413614]also how do you like all the other mods on the car? it sounds beastly and do you suggest 3.73 for MA or 4.10s I drive in the highway a lot[/QUOT
the only mod that i wish i didn't do was the bbk shortie headers. didn't notice a thing from em and they took me a week to install. biggest PITA install!!! most of my miles are highway miles also. 3.73 gears are perfect for MA driving in my opinion. its enough gear to rip a burn out at will and you won't be reving to the moon going 70 on the highway

at 55 mph, 4.10's are only 300rpm's higher than stock. lol at 70, im looking at like 2400-2500rpm. not revving to the moon by any means. I wanna go lower to something like 4.30's. So dont do 3.73's...4.10's are the way to go or 4.30's. Just my opinion though.

hahaha see this is why you can't ask what gear is better because everybody has their own opinion. my buddy has 4.10's with around 350 hp and loves em. so to each his own. if you don't mind reving alittle higher than get the 4.10's. i actually just drove my boys car back from foxwoods the other night(free drinks can do a number on a guy lol) his car wasn't as obnoxious as i thought it would be.
and i heard a funny joke that i have to tell u guys (off topic)
"Michal Jackson didn't die from drugs; he died from food poisoning after eating a 12 yr old wiener" lollollol

hey mass red if I paid you to help me install would you be interested...all the quotes im getting from around here want ridiculous money to do installs. The only decent price for installs i can find is for gears all the other work they want too much $$
