That's what I would like mine to do. I always have the issue of needing to accelerate from having to slow down a bit, but it's in one gear too high and the only way to drop a gear is to manually pull the shifter down or put the pedal almost to the floor to force a downshift. But the thing is I don't want THAT much throttle so I end up going faster than I wanted. :/
I wonder if in the tune it would be possible to make downshifting more aggressive where it doesn't need so much pedal to kick down?

It always wants to kick down a gear, not sure if it's because of the snow tires or the snow, but it's real nice. With the 3.31s, it would always cruise in a higher gear...

i just got 22 MPG going 70 on the freeway going to work this morning with my 20" razor rims and 4.10 gears... i don't understand what people are complaining about, If your racing around everywhere, then of course your going to have bad MPG regardless of the gear ratio.

Personally, as much as I dislike the 4.10s on the freeway, I LOVE them on the drag strip. Yeah, I'm fighting for traction all the way up to 65, but I'd rather be fighting for traction then not getting the power to the ground efficiantly enough.

Interesting...I have no problem breaking them loose in 2nd from a roll...but that's like a 20mph roll...Tougher to do in a higher gear with only an intake/tune. Can't say I've tried too much beyond a 20-25 roll. I'm on stock tires too.
