Not sure... I never corrected my speedo from the gear change... so I have no clue what I get for gas mileage. But it makes just cruising around a lot more enjoyable and it still moves out. Plus now I can pretty much bury the throttle in first and she hooks up and goes... instead of the tire smoke show in first

Keep the 4.10's!!! Normal everyday driving you wont notice the difference til you get in the gas. Is your car primarily a street car or is it going to the track every weekend and stuff like that??? if its a track monster then 3.73's is where you wanna be. But for me, i wouldnt mind having a centri car with 4.10's.

get the sand outta your vagina and get 4.30's

im jk man, honestly if its your DD, performance isnt everything. 3.73 would be a good gear, but you probably wont see much of a difference in MPG or tire wear. you could get a T56 for that longer 1st gear. that really helped my friend who has a KenneBell Mach and 4.10's

this is my DD, Ill stomp on it of someone wants to play or if I feel like drifting a U turn lol, but man having to baby the throttle in 1st and 2nd when you are wanting to romp on it is getting old. I dont care what kinda of blower you have you get to boost quick, and unless you run drag radials you can kiss traction good bye till 3rd gear... and you're still sideways when you shift to 3rd. Keeping the 410's is an option thats why I said just ALWAYS running drag radials is an option too.I Would'nt mine some 315 out back, but I also dont wanna spend 600 bucks ON TIRES ALONE every couple of months. that will cut in to my motorcycle racing bigtime, and I was thinking about getting my L's for it next month...FML... I need to just get rich lol problem solved

lol how about 4.56's ftw lol... yeah well idk, my buddy has some 3.55's and 3.73's and wants to trade, it would be a free install too. im thinkin bout the 3.55s, im going to forge my internals later this year and im doing a D1 upgrade after that.

it runs good and its nice having the power, but when you step on it in the 1st 2 gears its silly.thats why im thinking of going down in gears... I have to say im getting jealous of the new cars with big power and better gas milage tho lol, my mpg is awful

swp to a 6 speed and u wont have a mpg problem. ..

with a centri you can easily stay out of boost for normal driving.. i dont see your mpg argument personally.. i have 4.10s and get good gm.

as far as traction goes, i would step up to a 3.55. 3.73 are not really that big of a change.
