Okay, kinda what i'd assumed....so with louder exhaust than stock (which i have) it'll be noiser cuz the rpm's will be higher (im guessing)? Also is 4.10's gears safe to install on a stock engine?

its a significant difference, i personally havent had either of the gears in my car, but i've ridden in a few that had and theres a bit of a difference, theres always a gear for whatever kind of driving you do.

o boy or boy i've heard that saying many times ahahaha. Im sure it is. Mine is mainly in city driving >Gear type i dunno? I know more about the 3.73 than 4.10's but read all the time that 3.73's with an auto sucks. So im just kinda an looking for the background info if 4.10's are okay n such.

The difference between 3.73s and 4.10s is VERY noticeable. I absolutely hate my car with 3.73s in it. With 4.10s it was fun to drive, now....its lacking for sure. I want 4.30s

If I where you, I wouldnt put anything but 4.10-4.30, especially in an auto.

Okay then stay w/ original mindset of 4.10's. I def aint doing 4.30's. So am i going to need anything else then gears w/ the install? Car prob will have 63 64K on the clock.

I have an 03 auto with 410 and she is sick.... Pulls very very hard. But to speed is around 130-140 thats red line in drive. 410s are def the right choice

I don't think ill ever race with this car or s/c it so prob 4.10 is the best. If I was iffy about that i'd def go 3.73's no questions asked. But IDK too many places in the US where its okay to be driving a buck thirty-fourty ish ahaha. So im not worried so much about high speeds.

Whats the mpg if any over stock gears compared to 4.10's?
