Default 4.10 gears and T-Lok!

No help form 4.0 section so I reposted here:
Just got a few ?'s about my 4.10gears and T-Lok:
1.What's the best install price u think I'll find for these?
2. How many tenths u think I can pick up in the 1/4 and in the 60ft w/good STREET tires?
3. Will take offs seem a whole lot faster?
4. How many mpg do u think I'll lose or gain with these driving normally?
5. What's the break in period for the gearsI'll have, I hear take it easy for a 100 miles and do the 3 or 4 15min normal drivingruns with 30min cool downs?

Car is in Sig.
Thanx for the help ahead of time!

yep normal driving break in time is about 100 miles. don't play right away at all, you could damage the gears.

you will loose mpg but only about 2-3 normal driving. i shift at 2900. take off alot faster.

of all the mods i've done this is by far the most noticable!

Thanx a lot, Nice beastly car seems like you've done almost every mod besides F/I,UDP, and aluminum/lightweight parts, U go to the track, if no or yes how many tenths u think You've gained with them? Heard anything about the 3 to 4 cool down cycles for breaking them in? I read it somewhere on a forum by I think a highly ranked guy here, so I don't know?

Your gears will come with instructions on how to break them in. Follow those instructions. Richmond uses 4 heat cycles, but other brands may have different recommendations.

City driving MPG may actually benefit, if you drive reasonably. Highway mileage will go down, but nothing real significant.
