Lol 5th gear, whats that? Ive got 3.08's in my car now. I think I could break the sound barrier with 5th gear right now if i had the road for it, and maybe some rails.....


Btw, I guess im not the only one who stays up all night BSing on the forums, lol.

Unless you gonna be racing alot i would not go with the 4.10s ! When i go through the traps in my car in 4th gear is over 5k RPM. 3.73 is a better choice IMO, But hey its your choice. I have 3.73 and i have to shift before im through a intersections and is a pain to be honest. So good luck in ur choice.

4.10's is great for the track, but for all around I would go with 3.73's cause after a while your arm may start hurtin' from all that shiftin'!!!!!!LOL!!!!!

I like 3.55's, I'd say 4.10 is too steep for a street car, go 4.10's for track, 3.73 for steet/track, and 3.55 for street.
