since u arent really gonna race 3.55 i think should give u enough acceleration......r u going to add other mods on ur car later???

There is a lot of work to put those in properly, setting backlash and gearmesh etc. you have to take out drive shaft, axles etc. So when you think about it lots of work....and if it's not done properly you will get howling/whinnig. So if you want to take chance and do it yourself you have to know alot about what your doing. IMO if you don't know what your doing I would pay someone to do it. Could cause alot more damage if you try to save a few hundred bucks.

i agree w/ you on the "if you dont know what your doin leave it to someon else" but still it cant take like 7 hours of labor to do it can it?? even if the rear end is in the car. i saw some ppl pay that much for the gears, and a whole traction lock rebuild, and labor. it kinda seems a little expensive.

I plan on getting 4.10s.

I'm just saying if you haven't done anything like that before it can be very overwhelming, and you need a dial gauge etc etc.

Not saying it can't be done ..just not by an inexperienced mechanic.
