RE: 4.10 gears
I have an 99 GT auto, so will 4.10's benefit me in anyway or should I not even worry about getting them? I also will get a predator tuner and I have a shift kit if that would make a difference.

so what you guys r saying, is if we topped out with the the 3.73 gears and topped out with the 4.10 gears, your saying the 4.10 gears wouldn't reach as high of a speed?

Yes, they will benefit you.

what about an auto v6 in top speed? If I still had the speed and rev limiter I wouldnt be able to just use 3rd gear to go faster than in o/d?I would probably barely get 100 in 3rd gear then with the 4.10s?...in theory..?
Asking because I travel about 30 miles highway each way about 3 or 4 times a week and its very clear road,no hi-po so I was just wondering about the gears and how theyd affect my top speed
Also whats the fastest ur supposed to go on donuts?

4.10s will actually increase your top end because with our 3.27s and your 2.73 gears, there is not enough HP to over come the drag, 4.10s will get you into the power band and go faster and be able to over come the drag.

No, no one is confusing top end it top speed. The point is with the overdrive in the tranny, the car will top out at the same speed because the engine either doesnt have the power to rev out the overdrive gear, or that it is electronically limited anyway. They will, in theory take away top speed, for instance in my car, that can reach the highest rpm in the highest gear. It will not decrease top end either, it should make the wheels spin faster throughout the whole rpm range.

Yes I believe some people use those two terms interchangably around here.
