Default getting gears installed today!

Ok so I am finally getting my gears installed along with some Sub-frame connectors. I am going from 3.08's to 4.10's cant wait to get it back just a few more hours. It just started to snow here so I might have to wait untill I can really get on it but when I do I will let you guys know how much of a diffence it makes!!!

yeah, your going to love those 4.10's they will make you fly back in your seat..youll also be able to spin through 1st 2nd 3rd, pretty easy...and man evn 5th gear pulls hard...IMO 4.10 is the best gear for 5.0's in 5 speed. I loved 4.10's in my 89' Gt ...be careful in the snow, its easy to get side ways in snow in 3rd -4th gear...and you might want to go easy on the gears for the first 300 miles, and you have to do the gear break in where you put the car on jack stand, and run the car in1st and reverse for 3 min. Or something like that...ask them about it when you pick up the car.

Everyone always talks crap about the gas. If I go from 2.73 to 4.10 how many miles would I loose? 3.73? Estimated?

I couldnt tell you how many miles you will loose but I was told from a guy at Strange that every gear ratio you go up you will increase your RPM's by 100 or 200. I forget witch one it is. Sorry, I know that dosent help much
