4.10's may be fine in an S197 but unless you want your teeth chattering on the freeway go 3.55's and build some motor. Believe me bro, my friend did 4.10's inhis fox with no motor and it was fun around town but we had to take an hour and a half roadtrip to the track on the highway to o watch some racingand I kept wanting to reach over from the pasenger seat and shift gears. We were in 5th...it's to much gear for the 5.0 unless you're only gonna run it at the track and nothing else. Gears are a fantastic mod but ride in a 4.10 equipped fox and you'll see what I mean. My 3.55's almost render 1st gear useless...
