Car sounds the same, and so he has a few videos of 1/4 mile passes and ripping the car in the street and highway pulls. He also has 4:10's which he installed because the car was bought stock as i would assume. So the sound and gears of my pulls sounded almost identical. Ill put up a video soon to see what you guys think!
How about posting the youtube video of the car you're referring to.

The pulls are gonna sound close between the 2 anyway. Just because you have the same mods doesn't mean the cars are gonna accelerate the exact same. There are still many differences that can be done with the exact same parts..

How about you take 5 mins, get the car in the air, rotate the rear wheel and count the spins of the driveshaft. There is a big difference on the count of the 3.73 and the 4.10 as you already know. Yes its not exact but it takes care of the normal aftermarket gears that are installed. There are other variations such as a 3.90 but its not used much on street cars.

I think you need to stop trying to convince yourself you have gears installed and pull the cover and verify what you got, the time spent entertaining this thread and you could of already pulled the cover and verified it= 10 min job and it'll be accurate

Just be sure to put friction modifier back in the diff when you pull the cover.....
