Nice! How do you like them?

waltc10

So far so good man. About how long do you have to take it easy andbreak them in?

Heavyg72

I have been told and heard differently in regards to break in. The shop that installed mine said they were good go and there was no break in but I've differently here on the forum. My install was great and I've had no problems so I'm not quite sure. I took it easy for a little bit but didn't have a set mileage to go by. Not really much help I know!

waltc10

cool, do you have any regrets for not going with the 4.10's?

Heavyg72

No not at all...just right for my driving around town and some highway. I'm having the Brenspeed Paxton setup installed the week of July 9th so I figured I'd have enough problems with traction (suspension mods to come later!) and my local speedshop recommended 3.73 since I was planning on the F/I.

What 1/4 mile times are yall running with the 3.73's?

Heavyg72

You know, I haven't been to the track yet. I really want to get there before I have the Paxton installed so that I have some before/after times. If I do get there soon I'll definitely let you know.
